I am doing some stuff in a VERY small town (pop. 15,000) but have found 4 potential deals just this week (driving for dollars). 

The return process they are talking to overseas call centers, the item takes weeks to get back to the warehouse, the retailer looses the actual item being returned,etc.

So just about 3 weeks ago I finally decided to resign from my current w-2 and go to school to be a licensed RE agent.

@Randy BattersonYour PM company should be checking on each property no less than monthly (weekly for apartment buildings) when everything is sailing smoothly.  

Please let me know if you have anything available within the next few weeks. 

I live in Singapore and will be traveling to Austin next week to do the closing.

Going in I knew it was tenant occupied but on a month to month (but paying weekly) and it was a fast close and typically I deal with any inherited tenant situation while still in escrow and have some kind of contingency/agreement in place for that but I bought through a wholesaler this time and it was basically a no contingency deal.

I’ll have something for you to demo later this week.

Found a deal I should be under contract by this upcoming week but the problem is I really want to put 20 percent down but if I do that will be all my money I live at home with my parents I have a good paying job 4 bills max, should I take that risk or just settle and do the 5% conventional owner occupied loan and still have some money in the bank.
