Thanks @Account Closed, I’m happy to report that my offer was accepted!

This is a great time to update your lease to (a) a month-to-month contract, so that you can ask anyone to leave if they are messing up the feng shui, and (b) add a non-smoking clause.

I have written extensively on the merits of MTM leases here on BP, so you can read about my rationale if you'd like.

Here's my non-smoking clause:

SMOKING: Smoking is prohibited inside your unit or in any interior common areas. This includes marijuana as well as electronic cigarettes (i.e. “vaping”). You agree to pay an additional $200.00 lease violation fee each time we determine, at our sole discretion, that smoking has occurred in your rental unit, due as Additional Rent. Payment of this fee by you does not represent a waiver by us for this breach of the Lease. Smoking leaves soot and deposits, so an additional cleaning/remediation fee of at least $250.00 per room/area will be charged if we determine that smoking/vaping has occurred. Any cigarette butts from smoking outside by you or your guests must be picked up and properly disposed of.

Credit to @Nathan Gesner and Andrew Schultz for some of the verbiage.

Hi Ladies, 

I just made an offer on a multifamily today.  Could use your positive vibes that my offer is accepted.

Hello Family, 

We were looking into investment properties in DFW and found that there are lot of new communities which are being built by Lennar in Princeton Branch and other areas. Wanted to learn from experts in this community about lennar and if there are any pros and cons of buying homes with lennar and in general new homes. 

Thank you.

Doubt you'll be able to buy a Lennar home as a rental. Lennar in general is terrible, would not buy anything from them. Highly unethical company

 What practices do they do specifically that were unethical? I am looking at Lennar in my area and the front end incentives are hard to pass up.

Lennar is a mid-tier large production builder. I havnt found them to be any more ethical, or unethical than any other large home builder. Contracts with large builders are certainly 100% in favor of the builder at the detriment to the buyer....but thats the case with all of them. 

Mid-tier quality, mid-tier finishes, mid-tier service both pre and post closing.

Congratulations!!! You are where I want to be!

 It wasn't too long ago (about 7 years now) I was flipping my first mobile home trying to get some cash together! It happens fast if you're determined and willing to learn.
