(Aggressive) now we have found another house that we want to buy for us to live in and sell ours.

She just found out her mother's house was sold when the tenant called and told her that an investor told them that the bought the house at an auction.

I have found most management companies take 10% rent plus one half to one full months rent amount when filling a unit.  

Excited and new are the best attributes when you join Bigger Pockets....so glad you found the forums!

I found many meet ups in my area with the app.

I have never done this as I have never found a house that didn't need work for a good price.I still think if you as a flipper find a good deal, and it needs very little, you turn it on the market for what it is actually "worth".

We are excited and have great expectations for this property and eventually turning it into our first rental property.Thanks to BiggerPockets I found a real estate agent in my market that offered to meet with me.

@Shelly Floyd The latest contract can be found on the TREC website (www.trec.texas.gov) under "Popular Forms".

If I'd have called my landlord a couple years earlier and found out he was interested in seller financing I could've saved a third of the price vs. waiting to ask about buying it 'til my self-employment and rental income made me able to obtain conventional financing.

Then I found this property through my broker.
