I’ve requested financial statements, tax history, utility costs, and information on the property management company.

With a loan I took against my retirement savings, I have the cash for 25% down and then some, but I'm hoping I'll have some financing options based on the work that needs to go into the place.

In a BP video, Memphis was noted for it's RTP of 1.04%, low tax rate, and "could generate 20% can on cash return" (though where they are getting these number, idk.)2.

I hope this recommendation helps. 

Still hoping....

I'd also do a quick check on any utilities that she's paying that remain with the house to make sure they are paid up.If you have a full month's deposit, even if she doesn't pay for the second half of May and part of June, hopefully she leaves the place in good condition and you can use the deposit for unpaid rent after she moves out.

Finally ready to take the plunge and actually start investing in real estate rather than just talk about it, so I upgraded to Pro.I'm focusing on BRRRR single family homes to start and as I do not own my own home, I am looking to house hack for my first deal.Still early in the education process and putting together my team, but excited to progress forward and hopefully connect with local investors.

I like the Reno, NV market because of the proximity to California, above average appreciation, limited new construction, job growth, and low taxes.

My parents live in the Katy neighborhood.It is very safe and from what I understand, has a good school system.A lot of the homes are 'newer builds' since it is still a relatively new neighborhood.You are also in downtown houston in about 30 minutes during non-rush hour times using the I-10 highway.I don't think you can get the 1% rule anymore in the area but close to it.Since the homes are newerish, hopefully the property won't have too much renovation / repair costs.Best of luck

Hope that helps!
