@Peter Betlejewski I'll be available after 2:00 today if you want to give me a call.

Since I have no cash I figure I’ll have to do a few wholesale deals to start until I can put my own money into buying and holding. 

I'll ask my flooring guy for your tiles

I've contacted an attorney but he said I'll spend more paying him, so it's not worth is. $2400 is a lot of money (for me to just donate to HOA).

If I evict him, I'll have to go in now with about 60-70% of whats really needed (as no one else would EVER rent the place in it's current condition) but I suppose I could get it "rent ready" with the funds I have now in a couple months. 

I'll look more into FHA loans 

Concentrate on investing in multi unit purpose built B class properties.

I'll probably just send someone out to fix it and deduct from the deposit. 

Benbrook, Justin, White Settlement may be better areas but I’ll defer to the Fort Worth guys on that.I’d be surprised if a house that rents for $2,500 sold for less than $400,000 unless it was a burn out.Good luck!

I'll lease them to him for $x, and if he can lease them out annualized for more than $x/month, more power to him.If you're in a good submarket, and want to make that your business plan, there is a lot of money to be made.
