Welcome, In addition to what was said you can join a local real estate group in your area.

Hello Keith, If you're purchasing an investment property and hoping to get additional financing after quitting your job, you have to prove your ability to repay the loan.

I wanted to make sure we're not missing anything before we close:Requested an estoppel agreement to be signed at the final walk-throughNew/updated lease will be signed honoring the previous termsRequested to see the rent rollWe have a copy of the leaseThe sellers agreed to replace the roof before we close; we asked for the roofers information to make sure they are licensed/will pull a permit, and to get information on the roof.Will confirm that security deposits will be transferredAnother concern/question I had is about paying cash for keys.  

Walk score matters a lot, too.As a huge car tuner guy, I've learned to accept this & find this to be mutually beneficial for all.

After all was said and done it showed me walking away with $40,107.50 (my target goal was $40,000 profit).The final numbers were:Purchase $91,500.00Renovations $73,587.97Sold Price $250,000.00After closing costs, give back and all in the profit $67,571.60So the largest area of savings was in regards to AC.

You can ask them if they'd be willing to come in on it with you if you give them majority (like 60/40) in return for them walking you through some parts that you're unclear on.

Sam Craven past 180 days is not illegal in Texas there are just additional qualifications.

Additionally, lenders don't like associations that have one owner with greater than 10% interest - are you paying cash? 

Wished them luck and walked away. 

In addition to what Bill E. said, I try to get a good idea of what expenses could come up soon.
