Also, holding multiple loans was one of my concerns, but that's part of the risk with any rentals right?

The big issue I am concerned with is trying to buy a home that has foreclosure proceedings filed (so the owner is behind).

When is the best month to buy real estate in MI, as far as inventory and prices are concerned.

One of the common areas of concern for HELOCs I see out there is the 10 year maturity date and the adjustable rate. 

Your concern is not with the situation and trying to feel sorry for one party over the others.

@Syrica BrownCraigslist (don't put street address in ad)Facebook Market placeZillow ( this broadcast to several other sites like hotpads etc)I don't schedule individual showings, I schedule an open house and funnel everyone to that same block of time.I typically get a line of people filling out an application. 

Hi Daniel, if your looking for rentals make sure to look at the percentage return on your money, but some of the other cities outside of Austin may offer lower priced properties if that is a concern.

@Mark Robinson@Mindy Jensen questions are pertinent as the contributions come from your salary and the company and it seems the lawn business only provides so much is one concern I see. 

But I just have a few questions and concerns about contracts, how to market effectively to sellers, how to know what repair cost will be for damged houses, and etc.

Think of all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.
