Townhomes and condos in areas like Spring Branch, Heights, and Rice Military can see high appreciation rates.

If the llc is with the contractor and he signed that and also signed docs for closing, then there is no leverage.

I am familiar with the area and live and work in the Atlanta Market.

Quote from @Mike Klarman: For a guaranteed 10% down program you'll need good credit and 3+ experience but then with closing costs it will be more like 15% and then holding costs and such. 

Keep being consistent and it will come.

I'd start with picking one city and spending a lot of your time to do a deep dive building relationships and learning different areas.

Space Coast of FL and I use AirBnb and VRBO. 

I work in Potomac, MD, and would like to buy a condo or apt that I can easily commute and live in, and then eventually rent out, and then buy another.
