Cutting out the middle man means more work for you. 

@Craig ParsonsGet your RE license, cut out the middle man, and get paid a commission.

Moreover, the Lead Ordinance's classifications are not rationally related to its stated purposes and presumptions.

Telling yourself to drop out because its 120k is a way to "rationalize" leaving.

Don't try to over analyze a bad deal and try to rationalize ways that it could theoretically work out. 

Property taxes and insurance are high in TX which means that a 1% ration will produce a lower cash on cash return than market like Kansas City or Indianapolis with similar rent ratio's but lower operating costs.

Most rational people have come to grips with the fact that 2008 isn't going to happen again in our lifetimes and work with what's in front of us.

Some of the Italian doctors are posting on their FB accounts on what's going on and it's like WW3 in terms of condition because they got overwhelmed with patients and had to ration ventilators and medicines as a result.   

I think I would be better off hiring an attorney just to protect myself from the sellers agent, not sure I need a middleman.

My rational is that there are actually more costs associated with owning a rental property- repairs budget, capital expenditures, property manager fee, vacancy.
