There was no address but the zip code said 33133, which is a very expensive area.The listing had no pictures and said it was a 1/1.I called the listing agent immediately and said I was submitting a cash offer with zero day due diligence period and was ready to close immediately.The first question she asked me was if I was a realtor, to which I said no.I could hear the dollar sounds ticking over in her had as she calculated her commission going from 3% to 6%.I heard nothing for 2 weeks and then received a hold harmless form which I had to get notarized.I asked if that meant I got the property but I didn't get an answer.There were two outstanding violations for a roof repair and exterior painting required.

The houses aren't right in DP, although apparently when you put a zip code in innocently enough into the BiggerPockets profile, you can't change it again for a month!

I am very interested in the 77373 and 77380 area codes, and I currently am living in a house that I am about to rent out and looking for my second property.

I think that deal is pretty normal... if the heater had failed within 6 or 12 months of being brand new, they would pay the labor as well, but for most of the warranty they just provide parts.That drain pan is required by building code, for exactly this reason - water heaters eventually leak. 

b) I managed, by a lot of hard work and a little bit of luck, to get a screaming deal in my home zip code.  

For you, I would recommend the Schlage Sense locks where you can change the entry codes with your phone. 

Adding bedrooms are a big deal to the code enforcers.

Error code 404.

I truly hope that whomever gets in can simplify the tax code.

I wait to return security deposits until I hear from her on the condition of the house (again, very rarely an issue but I like to play it safe), and if there ever has been an issue, she takes photos of the house and what she found prior to cleaning it.We have a lockbox at the house with the key in it and change the code for each group, and our housekeeper changes the code for us.
