I searched and there are a lot of Epoc PM companies around the country, which leads me to believe it's a franchise.

I am out of the country but when I get back next week, I will reviewing all of my doc's and  I am hoping the two properties are separate and if I let Colusa go to auction or just foreclose on it, I will be able to keep my Texas property as it brings me a substantial cash flow every month.  

Currently there are a ton of buyers pouring money into finding deals off market and it's tight any where in the country.

Depending on how this goes (and I will admit, I'm behind on it), this could set a precedent for the country. 

My JV partner is in Phoenix and I am boots on the ground in one of the better cash flowing markets in the country.

It will contribute to the importance of insurance (and contracts).I leased a Panama City, Florida, bay front fixer from a man that lived/worked out of the country.

If they still don't budge, then you have to follow through the eviction.For the life of me, I don't understand why so many areas in the country make evictions so onerous on the landlord and the collections of unpaid rent so impossible for landlords.

Medina for example is one of the highest priced zip codes in the country!

Your VA loan may allow you to do that and buy more properties at the same time, but you want to learn from your house hack first instead of trying to manage from out of the country.

Next I intend to cross check the calculations (esp. taxes) and simplify the layout.
