Ten days after tenant moved out it rains and few hours later she said she had some minor leak.

I think too many people move on to property number two and three before property number one is really in good shape and later they regret it.

As for building trust with sellers, communication is key.

Is it turn-key, or deferred capex?

I made a few deals in North Dallas.Special assessments and HOA fees are a risk and renting out a condo most likely won't generate much of a cash flow.At $300k with you credit and saving you can still qualified for a loan for sure we have to find the program that works for you.On that budget you could find a nice place no that far from work so you don't have to move far to the suburbs. 

That said, we’ve been able to help investors secure creative financing solutions that work for this model.If you decide to move forward, just make sure your financing strategy aligns with your long-term goals, and the properties are good fits for Padsplits model.  

If numbers make sense and you can lock in favorable costs, building could be a great move.

Renovated it, lived in it for 2 years then moved on.

Not sure if you can garnish commissions and if I could then she might just move to another broker.   

I have debated about moving a house onto the property and either selling or renting the property or subdividing the property with multiple homes or even several tiny homes.
