Thank you so much everybody for your input! I definitely want to be prepared for the day a seller wants to go down the road of FSBO. I'll be sure to speak to my attorney and maybe the title company I've done business with on my last couple of deals.

Thank you everybody.    -Greg

I'm an investor of single family homes and usually use an agent to submit offers/contracts. I want to prepare for the day I deal with a property that is for sale by owner and only wants to sell directly to a buyer. Below is a link to the contract/offer we usually submit, but if I'm going to do the deal myself, do I legally need need a broker? If not, do I just omit the broker information on the contract?   

I have a TX attorney that has done some deed work for me, and I plan to get his opinion, but I just would like you hear about any experience you've had. Thank you!

I have separate checking accounts for each property in my series LLC; I use Citibank. They were only bank I could find that would open multiple checking accounts under one EIN. I'm just not sure how easy you can find one in TX. My properties are in TX, but I live in NV. I also use the Costco/Citibank VISA cash back card to pay for expenses.

I read on JP Morgan Chase's site that they could do the same, but I just haven't spoken to them yet to confirm. Good luck!

Thank you for recommending these firms Ethan.

I'll be doing more homework to see if going with a firm might be a better route than doing it myself each year.

I appreciate you taking the time to share your resources.   -Greg

Great tips and insight Lucia, thank you so much!

Being an out of state investor I'll have to see if contesting over the phone will be a regular option; even after COVID. I'll be sure to put your suggestions into practice.   -Greg

This is great stuff Greg, thank you!

I will be sure to set calendar alerts for next April-May.  When calling the people at Bell County, they have always been very friendly and helpful. I live out of state, but I try my best to reason with them over the phone. I'll be sure to do my homework, but if you can think of any other types of evidence that I can gather to make my case, I would appreciate it.     -Greg 

Thanks so much for the quick reply Stacey,

I will try my best to take those pics, unfortunately we just did a big interior reno. If you think of any compelling evidence that might help with properties already owned for several years - I'm all ears! 

Thank you again Stacey. I will take action on your advice!   -Greg

Hi everybody,

Has anyone had any luck contesting property taxes in TX, more specifically single family homes in Bell County? If so, do you use the help of an attorney, or what other advice can you share?

Thanks.  -Greg

Hello everybody,

I'm looking for, and hoping someone would share, the name of an agent they have worked with to purchase SFR. I'm new to investing in rentals and currently live out of state, so I'll take all the advice and education you can offer about BRRR in TX.

I live in Las Vegas/Henderson (unfortunately no investment properties) and if anyone has any questions about the area, I'm happy to share what I know. 

Thank you.  -Greg

 Hey Andy,

What are few things you like best about living in Georgetown?

The wife and I are seriously looking to relocate the GT, Roundrock, or Pflugerville area. 

Sent you a private message for realtor's contact info.
