Does the 50% rule apply in DFW markets (Save half for repairs/expenses, pay the bank from the other half, remaining cash is actual profit)?

It's harsh, but it's the only way to enforce these rules on tenants who think that THEY make the rules.Good luck!

There is a general contract rule that a judge could apply in the absence of any clear guidance in the lease - that notice is effectively given when sent.

The basement under this large room was full of water and had a bunch of temporary support posts pushing the floor joists up (physically bowed up).

Make sure you talking to the person on title(I don't deal with middle men) Build rapport first, find their motivation, and than solve their problem, make sure it has enough equity of course, than know your numbers, if it doesn't meet 70% rule, buy it "subject to" but only if it can still cash flow.

And a 2014 court ruling explicitly deems illegal a landlord’s attempt to impose any extra charges, whether labeled as “application,” “amenities,” or “community” fees.

My rentals ALWAYS start with the 1% rule.

@Mitch SmithI feel ya, part of Dale Carnegie's golden rules is "Never criticize, condemn or complain" and blasting someone in our industry could construed as violating that. 

Sure you want the property to perform but I also filled out a PFS (personal financial statement) and had to supply all of the supporting documentation. 

If you own the properties free and clear and you want to ull cash out within the 1st 6 months of being on title, then you limited to the Delayed Financing rules with Fannie Mae.
