Having a long-term rental while living abroad is do-able.Flipping houses while abroad, in my opinion, more difficult, especially if its your first go around with real estate.I would recommend taking a flight and staying in the area for a week and inspect the neighborhoods and make connections.You can reach out to @Elenis Camargo who has a PM company in Jacksonville.Best of luck though.

@Wiley Hood to be honest, with all the new regulations around documentation for cost segregation that has come out, I recommend having a professional do them.

Does anyone have an attorney recommendation in Texas or other recommendations to remedy this loss?

Are there any key resources, platforms, or strategies you’d recommend for a beginner? 

I also recommend not allowing unaccompanied showings if at all possible.  

Long story short my credit score increase 5 points after being with them for 6 months, I took 'FREE' advice from another recommended credit repair company and my credit score finally began to increase 

I would recommend getting a free cost/benefit analysis to see if you specifically could benefit from the study.Real Estate Professional Status

The law does NOT apply to landlords:With less then 5 rental unitsThat live in one unit of a duplex and rent out the other unitThat rent out rooms in the home they occupySo, landlords can no longer state in their rental ads, "Section 8 not accepted".The reverse is also true, "Section 8 only", cannot be used.We've always recommended screening S8 tenants the same way as cash-paying tenants.Landlords waiving application fees and/or security deposits only for S8 prospects may also be violating Fair Housing.

That’s a little south of Austin, Texas.Can somebody make any recommendations or point me in the right direction to find someone like this? 

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?
