If you wanted to get an idea of flip areas and work with an agent who understand this process, please feel free to reach out (PM).

Foundation issues can be scary, but if you have a good general contractor then they will be able to help you understand the costs involved in fixing them ($10,000 on the high end in my neck of the woods).

I can understand anyone's reservation if this was my deal alone, but it's not..

Here on BP you can do that by adding a picture to your avatar.Understand that beyond understanding the technicalities of rules and regulations, real estate is about market conditions and helping people to get to yes.Get to know your target market like no one else.Develop your ability to empathize what's going through a buyers head and a sellers head and figure out what you as a real estate agent can do to address concerns.Neither of these are limited by your age.Good luck!

You will need to understand the landlord-tenant laws for your jurisdiction and follow proper legal procedures for terminating an existing lease. 

Do you understand how the cash buyer makes his money and have you taken that into consideration when putting together your asking price?

I've uploaded a few of ours there under Other Documents.Be sure you fully understand the landlord-tenant laws for your jurisdiction and abide by them.

I understand you are wanting to house hack... seems like you need a place asap.. have you considered looking for a home with more bd than you need?

All this to say, make sure you get a great deal and also make sure you understand how your local taxes work.

Hi friends,  purchased my first rental in may this year, got it rented in mid June, signed a 12 month contract with tenant, about a week ago tenant sent me an 'official' email that there is a mice/rat problem, although there were cheaper options I went with professionals who were charging me 7-8x only because this is a long term investment and I wanted to get it solved, the pest professionals sealed the attic and set traps, they followed by couple of times to remove traps and refill bait boxes, my tenant now sent me lease termination letter citing health concerns due to mice/rat problem, they paid for current sept month and said that I can keep half the deposit for Oct.What should I do here, they have three small kids so I understand the reason for concern but I am also doing my best to solve the issue, should I go ahead and accept their termination or should I fight it out, not sure if involving lawyer is good as I am trying to make some cash flow and not lose it.. please advice also I am from Texas and would love to hear about TX law on this.
