Constructing new homes and selling them is extremely difficult and challenging.

I am clueless when it comes to the economic development board, but I do know that Waco in general is extremely business friendly and has very little regulations compared to other Texas cities.

I agree with other responses here, and to piggyback on them it seems everyone plans to 'own forever' when they sign a 30 year lease or finance term, and then things change (job, relationship, life events, etc) and folks try to sell the property with 25-28 years left.Banks do not look at power bills when determining DTI, but they will look at a solar loan/lease. 

Makes sense.Update - so we went to do the inspection and the power was off. 

Extremely stressful but I will definitely fire this Pm. 

Louis, consider specialty providers like Powers Insurance, St.

This forum has been extremely helpful.Hey Pat, regarding your docs for buying: 1.

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

The last thing you want is for them just run venting across the ceiling and you see it (as an extreme example)I think you could split it or just say if that's what they want then they would have to pay for it.

However, dealing with the seller is a bit of a mess - she is extremely pushy and want me to place a $50k earnest money deposit ASAP.
