Looking for investor friendly agent with experience in West Fort Worth.

There's a standing invitation to play, but I'm clueless.)Please extol golf's virtues in the RE investing sphere, OR reassure me I'm missing nothing that's worth carving up some of my finite life for. 

In spots like this, they are 100% of the time worth their cost in my opinion. 

If it's worth $220K say, and you're renting it for $1100, that's only a 0.5% rent/cost.

I'm not sure which ideas are worth the money though.

I'm also in the market for a rental that is for sale for 48k, but it's worth 80k located in Texas.

Remember - It also reduces your deduction next year, because you will only have 11 payments in 2017, unless you do it again next December!

Real estate is a large, functioning market and if the property was worth more than the debt/encumbrances against it the owner would have sold it 99.9% of the time.  

For what it's worth those two houses on 30th st look nice.

The upside is that there is no lien on the property.If you have the ability to do a refinance after a seasoning period, and the house is worth more than you paid for it, consider doing that and pulling out all your capital.If you use a smaller credit union, some will bundle multiple small properties into one blanket loan.
