Sounds like good advice, all way round.

There were also some gouges in the tile from a bed frame with metal feet. 2 hours with a power buffer and a total cost less than $200, and the entire floor looks like new again.

The expenses round out to around $49k.

With a name and address you can take 5 minutes online and find out what their round-about mortgage amount it.Building a relationship with these people will make them feel more comfortable in what they are doing....and it will make you much more money.

So in short right now I'm an ESI because I have my feet in all 3 areas.

It's a 2 bed/1 bath home that is one story and appx 900 sq feet.

How far is Conroe from Round Rock?

I've made no less than 15 trips over to show the place, which is a 32 mile round trip.

As far as getting my feet wet, I have been pricing homes and rents in my area.

Come heck or high water, I am forcing myself to finally jump into investing with both feet.
