Hi Matt,Congrats on building significant equity in your rental property.

I have an opportunity to purchase an off market deal on a property in MD. 

Find out what is motivating them and lean in on that.

Any ideas on good cities in Texas?

We were able to work a deal in the last 2 weeks before it was finalized, we had to pay the max amount of interest for back taxes and water bills and liens on the property.

@Johnny McKeonI feel that 7.75% on this is pretty high. 

Honestly there are several career paths that will help (Renovation contractor, real estate agent, corporate RE analyst)  but depending upon whether you are looking for a career investing/flipping versus using your W-2 career income to build more by flipping, you can approach it better in my opinion by learning through doing.Flipping especially 1 at a time isn't a full time job and my thought is that you get help on your first, maybe first few flips.
