Floor joists in the bathroom need to be repaired due to extended water leaks that have caused the joists to rot.It needs a new roof and POSSIBLY some updated electrical work.AGAIN, I stress I will look at the home tomorrow so everything I am sharing is "heresy," which of course the bank would then look at and then consider whether or not it meets their livability standards for the purposes of a loan.

Also for liability purposes and protecting my personal assets I would recommend setting up and purchasing and investing through the LLC.

Austin,Has many IT companies bringing jobs here investing in new campuses, and promoting the many jobs that they plan to create in the media.

I am getting promoted this month to CPT and I will have about 1100 more extra dollars laying around.

HOA just changed the rules: NO renters.For this reason, I am hesitant to purchase in any HOA or condo for investment purposes.

While the MLS has it's purpose and there are deals listed there, it is not the end all be all to find properties. 

Does it make a difference for tax purposes?

looks like you are promoting this organization. 

Their purpose are not the same, one builds, has construction knowledge.

Be promoted to "Manager" at my day job - this is more of a 3-4 year goal.2.
