Also, the weather is getting cold, and she'll soon be paying heating bills.

As such, you are not very likely to find something meeting this specific criteria listed on the MLS as the strong demand for this asset class pushes down the returns.

In Texas, demanding an original (sans promissory note) is kinda petty because we have the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 

It had all the things that I look into an investment property - great location, large units with an option to create an additional bedroom, plenty of room to increase rents, it was deleaded, very high rental demand area.

I consulted with an attorney that confirmed that and we were going to send him a demand letter, but he ended up just releasing the funds before hand.another point is to work with a better realtor + title company. they were not on the deal in terms of dates and no one (including me) paid attention to the important dates, kind of a beginner mistakes but i had some issues in my personal life that took my attention from that and i did expect the 'professionals' on the deal to be more on top of these dates , but i take responsibility for that as well. i just wont use either of them in the future.Hope that'll help anyone else as well thats why i shared this info, and again thanks everybody for the support, both the mental and technical one.Appreciate yall and happy holidays.
