In Dallas, we even sponsored the Dave Ramsey show, which I thought was sheer GENIUS on my part, and we got SQUAT from it (that means NOTHING in Texan).

Hi Jennifer,Apartments are an option.If you are worried about managers and (tenants, toilets, termites) then you can look at something like a triple net leasing property.Corporate rated tenant and the tenant pays taxes, insurance, lease payment, etc. .

But if your tenant can't flush their toilet, you do what it takes to resolve that.

Anyone who will call a contractor to adjust a toilet floaty ball is not okay with me.I also like individuals, I can't stand property management companies.
