I am leaning towards the multi-unit properties because a number of them can be had for a relatively low price with tenants already in them and which seem to be on the surface creating decent cash flow.

I have a full time job, I am considering obtaining real estate license in TX for the convenience of access to the MLS, buying and selling properties and other benefits for my investment.I am based in Houston, can anyone recommend a brokerage firm to work?

For a new REI would using a HML be convenient and what would be the most that the HML will cover or will it depend on the deal that's presented to them?

Presently, I'm leaning towards wholesaling as I do have some resources readily available that (will) make this option more viable.I think BP will be a godsend of me as I'm an information junkie and I'm going to love bouncing ideas off members.

So this is my current leaning at the time... to skip the county and the engineering firm, rehab it, list and move on.

If its ceramic, there is a much greater chance of chipping and scratching during the removal of grout so Id lean toward replacement.If all else is good and the only problem with the floor is the grout job, you might run an ad on Craigslist for someone experienced in removing grout.

I'm already leaning towards just being patient but just wanted to get a few other opinions from everyone on here too just incase there is a senerio I'm not seeing yet.

Am leaning toward mobile home investing following Lonnie Scruggs format.

Which is convenient.

The more I thought about it too, I started to lean towards looking into buying a SFH and renting out the other rooms.
