I feel like the seller would wait and I could just buy it in cash since I do plan to refinance it anyway and pull out the equity once I’ve done some repairs/upgrades.

And not even posts where users give me and/or BiggerPockets negative feedback, no matter how much I do not like the posts, or how untruthful I personally feel them to be.

How many $800-$1.2mil homes sold in Amarillo in 2023 and 2024 and did they look/feel like this one. 

Also I feel that previous owner realtor inspector and HoA the ones should held responsible for this.

I stopped at the "right" part.You need to start interviewing PMs in Austin, getting a feel for prices to renovate(hvac, water heater, floors for material + labor, etc.).

Many online courses are self-paced, so working on it in your spare time is absolutely doable.If a career shift isn’t your goal, you can still learn the "game" through various other means.

My budget is in the $200-250K range.Please feel free to let me know if additional details would help, and thank you in advance for your time and advice! 

I feel both offer a tremendous amount of value.

If you have any loan questions feel free to reach out. 

Deposits will not be returned (full or partial) until all tenants move out.If Tenant A didn’t come to you to get part of the deposit back they may have gone to tenant B, but they most likely walked away from it and I feel it is between tenant A and B to sort it out.Personally I would return it to tenant B, the active tenant in the current active contract.
