And I''ll be almost half of our exchanges start in one state and end in another anyway. 

Once we were well under contract and the rate lock-in date rolled around, the rate magically "jumped" up by about a point and a half from what our original quotes were.

Looking to get my first deal done and came across a house a block and a half away from a college.

@Acie Martinez  Technically you can keep half a month's rent as your lease likely says you need 30 days' notice. 

I put 3.5 down, and after that started doing a bunch of updates that have created value (hidden bedroom/ half bath) before I had any idea they could be such good ideas.

I think that is probably the easiest way out but I was trying to figure out a way to sign a lease with them to lock it in so I don’t have to advertise anymore 

But she doesn't want her lease start date to be another month and a half from now.

The property card says it’s a 4 bdr and 2 bath but it actually has 5 bdr, 3 full ba and 2 half bath.

I even drove out to Sherman today to look and there are a ton of available rentals all hovering around that same 0.5% rv and that's nearly an hour and a half outside of Dallas.

Total Income/Month = $2420Minus the $575 once I move in but I will have a roommate who will pay 200 + half the electric so I would subtract $375 from $2420 =  $2045Expense Break down:PITI = $1447.62Tenants pay Electric,Cable, and Internet I pay water which at most is $180/mLawn = $50/mSnow = $100/mGarbage = $50/mElectricity for my room =$50/mTotal cost = 1877.62Income - Expenses = +$167.38/month plus I would live for freeI have an inspector going through the property tomorrow and am heavily considering having the plumbing checked out due to it being an older property and would love advice on this.
