Despite much appreciation for the Austin area, she was only able to barely breakeven and ended up selling for what he thought it would (about $25k less than what it was listed for).  

If I don't get any kind of email or contact back in the next couple of days, I will post the notice to pay or quit on their door and go from there.I'm a little worried though because the leases that all the residents are under right now are barely filled out and full of loopholes, so I'm praying it doesn't end in a court battle.

From bare bones to the best: basic, broad, and special coverage form options.  

I've reviewed over 50 properties in this area and I can't find a single one that hits the 2% rule on gross income, this one barely clears 1% - any thoughts?

I barely have the capitol for the down payment.Closing may have to go on credit cards.

Obviously with the 60-feet setback I can barely build anything anymore.Should I hire a surveyor or geotech to mitigate the issue?

Go Me...Anyway, after several years of barely hanging on to my inactive license and continuing the education requirements it just seemed ludicrous to hold on to it and I let it lapse.I wasn't even thinking much about investing.

So I'm waiting on my first deal still, but there's a chance it falls through (condo, short sale, pending bank approval currently), and if it falls through, we're considering a 3-flat (house hacking), possibly on the southwest or west side of the city (following the pink line basically).From my admittedly little experience of the neighborhoods, are they showing any sign of appreciation or gentrification?

But I have rhyme to my reason just bare with me. 

If you're barely cash flowing each month could this turn into negative cash flow in a downward market?
