@Isadore Nelson Yes, eviction is possible, but there are too many factors that need to be taken into consideration, active military family members, disabled veterans, building violations, maintenance issues and etc...

@Julian Martinez woo, that window wall definitely has a wow factor.

BUT for certain rural areas it's worth it's weight in gold because of the reliability factor vs an unreliable or expensive existing utility structure. 

Good morning Simon: what is the best phone number for me to contact you?

Good morning, im a local realtor in the mcallen area.

Look into factors like vacancy rates, local job growth, and tenant demand to pinpoint promising markets.Once you find a property, work on running the numbers carefully—factor in purchase price, rehab costs (if applicable), property management fees, and reserves.

Other factors such as the quality of the tenant, and location will also determine the value you can get.

I base the price on a few factors - Room size, amenities and area average rents. 

Given your experience managing 138 doors, you already have a significant advantage in understanding tenant needs, property maintenance, and financial planning.Key tips:Focus on personal finances: Keep building excellent credit and maintaining healthy reserves.Financing: Explore loan options like conventional, or DSCR loans to maximize your purchasing power.Location: Research neighborhoods with strong Section 8 demand and landlord-friendly regulations.Due diligence: Analyze properties carefully, factoring in rehab costs, property management, and cash flow potential.Your expertise and willingness to learn put you in a strong position—best of luck!

So there is a 100X weight factor on the licensed professionals for literally everything, everything done and everything not done.
