If there is a downturn of any kind in the economy and people start losing jobs I think there will be an extreme flood of foreclosures in new homes. 

@Craig Curelop, What kind of real estate investing do you do?

What kind of loan would I ask for, if so, and do you have any recommendations for STL banks? 

Hey guys I need your kind help and expertise!

RE isn't for everyone, but from my experiences most people that quit do so because they didn't make the kind of money they'd hoped for in the short-term, even though there isn't anything short-term about RE. 

I got a lead today from a woman who received a judgement for back due Child Support in the State of Texas. 

The constable served them finally and we have court on the 25th.The lease expires in July, with so many tenant rights and the judge tends to be more on the tenant side will some kind of loophole pop up that might grant them more time?

I would get you an agent where you want property.It's kind of their job and what they do.

However, one thing I would add is that, when vetting a Sponsor/deal, their acknowledgement and analysis of a "bad" situation is certainly welcome.For example, a sensitivity analysis that supports say a 2-3% return even if occupancy and rents don't come anywhere near projections, is still relatively attractive given potential returns on other investment vehicles.If a Sponsor you're considering is all rainbows and sunshine, I would take that as a red flag and move on.

If your property can't comfortably support all the expenses associated with a flip, you're overpaying.
