I am attempting to add some reality to your expectations.

If they can do this, why couldn’t anyone “tell” a buyer that the rents are $x when in reality they’re $y.

Additional things: windows look old though functional, exterior house trim needs painting, replace sink vanity in bathroom.. not sure how to calculate the cost of this. 

It’s just a lot of work and difficult.I’d start with househacking and then look at markets close to you like Killeen or Temple.Out of state sounds sexy but in all reality you’re better off being able to drive to your properties and there’s opportunity close to you.

Yesterday I took a harder look at myself, and gave myself a dose of reality.

Like them or not, the reality is they have become the sphere of influence for the Ft Benning area so they will get the pcsing customers before any other agents or property manager.

It is horrible, but the reality is that it damages an animals mental state. 

It's a very basic reality on real estate lending that there's a limit on how much equity you can access in a property.

I would hire a lawyer and see if they could assure me that the $2500 would be the end of it, they can't come back for more after over the same issue.The reality is that any property you buy is going to have some four or five figure "surprises."

If people hit the Zillow Offer button instead of go to wholesalers that could sink a lot of individual business models.
