Good Morning/Afternoon/Night Fellow Investors,I am new to Biggerpockets and am very excited this platform exists; I've already learned a great deal with my limited interaction with fellow investors.I am an Army Veteran living in the DFW, TX area.

Thank @ John Thedford I realize that but it was to late to make changes as mentioned  I am new to bigger pockets and it is  my first post so I am learning as I go along thank you for the information shared

That's because the new tax rates won't be published until late summer. 

I have been doing a lot of research lately and I have herd many times over about submitting multiple offers on different properties.

Late to the party, but want to learn more :)

I'd always wanted to buy & "fix-up" houses ever since I remodeled my first house when I was in my late 20's but I never had any money.

It depends on if the loan is FHA, VA, USDA or conventional and if the guy you are buying from went through escrow or just did a "kitchen table closing", if the property was in foreclosure or late on payments in the last 6 years (right, you're in Washington State - where socialism went when it died in the Soviet Union) (I'm from Seattle, by the way ;-), how the underlying loan payments are being made, the status of the person on the underlying note, you have to determine who is going to pay the excise tax on the transfer and of course you need to see the terms on the Lease to Own, etc.But, yes, it should be able to be done.

I'm also guessing from your post that there are no other units available for you to move in to.It's too late now, but if someone like me were representing you, there would be a contingency in the P&S that "Unit 1 will be delivered vacant and broom clean". 

And no more allowances for being late. 

No history of late payments.
