TL/DR - I bought a 3.5 down FHA Duplex, I'll be living in one side and renting out the other.

I am wondering if i should have gone with a hard money lender .. i just found and had my financial partner purchase a property here in Central Fl .. the BPO's ( 3 of them ) all came back at arv of around $130k to sell quickly .. all said within 30 days .. ( the market is hot and dry here ..no punn intended ) the original purchase price was $45k but after a inspection ( really just had a few contractors though ) i renegotiated the sales price down to $34.5  with the seller paying $500 of the $1100 in clising costs .. the qoutes from the Gc's were around $45k but thats when the whole roof was to be torn off and replaced ..

However, inventory has been dry, it's a seller's market, and prices continue to climb.  

If you didn't know or hear, cash flow is drying up because of interest rates, but there are ways to still build a consistent, long term portfolio.

The Texas Property code isn't the most fun to read but it is pretty cut and dry (always go to the source document!). 

I don't want to live with hair all over my house, constant barking, and of course, it using my house as it's restroom.

Discounting rent to throw in a bunch of other junk fees and programs to be just a hair cheaper than booking on Airbnb and keeping all of it is immoral.

Hi,Lately I have been seeing a lot of boat slips & dry dock storage for sale.  

The property is allergy free due to owner's family being highly allergic to animal hair, dander, feathers and the like.

Once you remove it, wash walls & sand them after drying.
