I think you'd be hard pressed to find anyone with any experience at all, who would tell you it's okay to go without!

If you're just getting started I think you'd be hard pressed to skip over San Antonio based on price of entry alone...Obviously every market is competitive right now but I think you'd have a better shot here especially being an out of state investor.

So press print now!

I am finding that some press reports are claiming a crash but prices nationally are close to flat (less than 5% down).

These days though, you'll be hard pressed to find someone who will give you a revolving credit line on a house that is not your primary residence!

I will remain patient, but I won't be left out the loop, and have this deal operate in the shadows.I plan on calling my agent tomorrow and pressing him in a professional manner as to what he may know and when we can expect to close on this deal.Updates to come, thank you all for your sage recommendations. 

I picked mine up for my $600 duplex house with an attached vacant lot...lol, ive spent more money on accidental bar tabs.

Around 10 years ago, my father thought he was splitting his half with his wife and says he accidentally deeded over his half ownership entirely to his second wife and step daughters.  

Not sure what you're meaning by accidental wholesaler, unless you have a buyer in mind for the 3 single family houses and intend to get them under contract and assign that contract to your buyer for a higher price..

My wife and I became accidental landlords when we received orders to move away from the home we purchased in Colorado Springs, and kept it as a successful rental property.
