We found a bank owned home very much below market price listed at 350k, ARV comps going for at least 500k, think this one would be closer to 550k all finished.

Heres a blog I found and it does a decent job of explaining.https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2015/04/1...And a similiar thread with lots of answers and opinions.https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/568352-pros-cons-to-paying-off-rental-property-early

I've found actual listings to be reasonably accurate data points on both the sale and rent side of things.

When I first moved to Houston I found a job with a home builder as a construction manager to gain firsthand experience of the home building process.My biggest hold up is suffering from paralysis by analysis.

If they have found anyone, let me know as I would like to know as many as possible in that market.

I've found it's rare to find a HUD house that makes sense, especially if there's a bidding war scenario.

I found that they could be unorganized at times which was frustrating but overall a good experience. 

Have you found a readable version of the what the house needs? 

I just happened to uber score with the one I found being across the street from my house and by far the worst house in the neighborhood.

I found the deal through a house moving company.
