I think the closings costs sound WAY high with 4k.

Sounds like you've got a great plan.

In the end, I am here because I want to someday replace my day Job, and create something for myself, my family and my kids.

It sounds logical but I think its a conflict of interest as it encourages you to take risk that perhaps isn’t right for you.  

So it sounds like a straight cash offer would fly.

I had a tenant move out last week and the living room carpet is stained beyond cleaning and need to be replaced.

My goal is to replace my income from real estate agency work with investment income in order to insulate myself from the cycles in the real estate sales business.I am very excited to be here and want to learn about markets on the mainland.

Does that sound right for Buckeye Az?

Sounds like you have the classic example of finding a “deal” but finding out it’s not motivated seller.

From what I heard, the people behind the home warranty fix issues within the property very poorly and when it comes time to replace an appliance, they give you the dead end of the stick and say “it isn’t covered”.
