Its in a very hot up and coming zipcode and a very central location.

The property I'm specifically thinking about is likely to go for less than $50,000 and is on a quarter acre with incredible visibility off a heavily used exit.

Just wanted to ask the incredible experienced BP community the best way to execute such a deal.

.-- Not shopping around for insurance as diligently as I should have-- Not establishing a preventive maintaince schedule for my HVAC units before the hot/cold seasonI learned a lot this year.

If the water is off and the property vacant for some time, automatically figure on replacing the hot water heater and repairing or replacing bathroom, kitchen and outdoor faucets.

I replaced an A/C system that was working though older, but had begun to freeze up fairly regularly on most hot days.

Thanks for posting this incredibly valuable info.

The hot water tank exploded and water was sitting in the utility room/kitchen for quite awhile.

I think it's like any field that the experience teaches you more than the degree does.I'd look at lease options in your area, but HEB is pretty hot, so I might drive for dollars and look for houses in need of repair and look to wholesale them.

This is to offset usage of oxygen due to gas stoves, furnaces, hot water heaters etc.
