I'm trying to dot all my i's and cross my t's, so hopefully there's someone around here who has some first-hand experience with this type of arrangement. 

2) This is how management ‘hassles’ occur or 98% of the horror Tenant/Landlord stories here on BP occur - separate personal from from business; be professional and try to teat it like a business3) This is fraud; you know it which is why you’re asking for validation; the Tenant knows it which is why he’s come to you with an ‘airtight’ planI’m sorry for sounding harsh but honestly are you really willing to place your self, your property and what all else you have in the cross hairs of liability, fraud and lord knows what else for this ‘customer’?

Are these things cross-compatible?

Just cross-referencing it here in case anyone sees this post, but not the other one, in the future.

Also, I live in Vermilion, Oh which borders Lake Erie. 

Haven't been to TX since my cross country driving days in my 20's.

Fingers crossed.

Any investors know of brokers in the US who would help with cross border mortgages ?

The cross your fingers that they do not tear up your place.
