We have awesome credit and our DTI is beyond great. 

Some people think for sale signs make their neighborhoods look bad.

You should be provided with a HUD sheet that breaks down all the expenses / credits on it, before the closing, you will have to pay county and state tax, filing fees, transfer tax, etc. 

My credit has been hurt by some personal situations.

I guess no matter how bad it looks for buyers, it probably still doesn't come close to the buying frenzied we saw before the bust in 2007. 

I wanted to look into getting some funding but i am not able to do so because of credit and other various things.

I want to invest so badly but I need to learn a lot more first it seems because it's almost to easy.

House hacking wouldn't be bad especially if you have a bunch of buddies out here.

I read another post from a BP member from 2 years ago and he described the whole Harris county auction process and he said the same thing that it was really a mad house, everyone crammed in real tight, auctioneers not speaking loud enough and maybe didnt know what they were doing, people (maybe newbies) bidding up the price to or above retail....just madness.But it is something I'd like to see and more important meet some of the investors, people who are actually buying properties and doing it.I might hook up with the group you were talking about, my only concern is them taking away time from seeing the action and meeting the players, but it might be wise for a first timer to go with someone who can show me the ropes once inside .Bad thing for them is, thanks to BP there really isnt any way i could see myself coughing up any money for information that i can get here for free.
