Post: When to start speaking to lenders/agents, lease ends in June

Probably best to start talking with them in March. The earlier you start, the easier it is to make sure you're ready to go in June. You can ask them not to run your credit when looking at your application, and they will usually be able to tell you if your file is ready to go, or if you need work to do before. (such as paying off debt, raising credit score, selling a liability, etch)

Hey Yash, I list a decent amount of foreclosure homes in San Antonio, and I had issues with people stealing the AC condenser. Because there’s no internet, I put up a few cheap dummy cameras/security lights, and that solved the problem so far.

I agree with many of the comments here. Be careful not to get scammed when looking for a mentor. Many people can make it look like they're doing much better than they are.

then you’re not doing it right. To live in Texas and not take advantage of it is absolutely wild. All 5 of my homes are in my home town because it works.

Yes red flag for me unless you can get more information. It seems like something I wouldn’t want to deal with.

Quote from @Collin Hays:
And no income tax. Appreciation and ROI. I'll pay a little higher property taxes no problem.
It’s not like they’re million dollar rental properties either.

Hey Neal I’ve never done it, but I know many people that do it or tried it. The amount of work and stress will multiply so I would just be cautious about that
