Hello!  I've learned so much here on BP. Good luck in your endeavors!

@David Doyle We just purchased a foreclosure that has been sitting for mths. The water smells like rotten eggs when we turn it on, ant recommendations. I turned on all hot water and let if run out to see it that will help when I check it tomorrow. BTW it is city water and an electric water heater.

Hello, I'm in Houston too! Just do your research and jump right in. 

@Ursula B. Did you close? I am under contract and hoping to close with Fannie in January, but have heard they can cancel closing anytime.

Good job on making it happen!!

@Joe Villeneuve There was no real rationale. I felt like I low balled and my realtor called and they said offer was too low, My agent suggested we go up 5k. They accepted right away...of course I felt like we should have offered lower!

I offered 12 K under they ignored me, after one week I offered 7k and they accepted!

Welcome! I joined not long ago, and I'm already in a  contract with my 1st buy and hold in Houston. I've learned so much from the forums! Good luck.

@David Oldenburg 

The property taxes are approx. 1200$ yearly and I'm not sure about the hazard insurance yet. I will definitely update you once I rent the place!

@Brandon Sturgill  @Frankie Woods 

Thanks for the encouragement.  I`ve learned alot here on Bp. I hope to get a better deal on my next buy and holds!
