I ask because working full time job and 2 kids to raise my time is so limitedHi Andre,No, you do not need a Real Estate License to Invest in Real Estate, however, working with a realtor who is experienced in the area you're planning to Invest in and understands your vision will be key to reach success.It will save you a lot of time and effort since they will bring you the deals instead of you having to look for them, besides you have nothing to lose since the seller most of the time is the one who pays the realtor you hire, so It's a win-win situation.Best of luck my friend, don't hesitate to reach out to me, I'd be more than happy to help you out!

This is not legal advice, but a garnishment is very different from a collection effort. 

Have you tried contacting the Sheppard AFB housing office as a target for your marketing efforts?

I do think that the $265k house will value for well over 300k once the neighborhood finished remodeling efforts.  

So my question is how much effort would it take?

@Anthony Iaccino  The bulk of your effort and time should be on finding deals. 

If the seller is unwilling to provide them, walk away.Good luck and happy investing,Troy  Thanks Troy for your thoughts and efforts to my response. 

It takes a little more effort on my side, but I think it’s work the savings.  

Two thoughtsFirst thought..... with all the laws and complications of evicting existing tenants when you buy a place, I wonder what the ramifications would be if AFTER you sign all the paperwork to move in and you make an honest effort to evict the designated tenant, it is realized that it would place way to much hardship on that tenant and it becomes very clear that they want to stay in the property?

Not only do you not have to pay $5k (or whatever the true amount is) in legal costs, the seller has advanced the FC process numerous steps, some of which require a lot of time, effort, and headaches.We bought a dozen loans at the beginning of the year and plan to put several out for bid next month.
