I will likely be there but would prefer it to be small rather than large.I expect I will see some of you in Vegas.  

@Mitchell Kosek I prefer to invest locally.

But I prefer texting over phone calls also because its a step back and you can always think about how you will respond before sending.My problem is that some tenants find this texting on their phone too easy, and like to have someone to gripe and complain to. 

What was your preferred method for sourcing/ screening tenants?

Long term rentals are tough to cash flow unless I implement a co-living / rent-by-the-room strategy, which I've done before, but I'd prefer to not do again. 

I have read that Texas usually prefers a warranty deed and looks down upon quitclaim but also that if something between family members that is just a removal it is okay.  

I’m also at a life stage, where I’d prefer to just live with my partner and not rent out individual rooms in my unit.When I move out, the rental income would sometimes just barely cover the mortgage and taxes (usually not even insurance).

I would definitely prefer equity over getting a salary for the property management, but am just not sure how my work would equate in this situation.

This method involves you identifying homes in your preferred areas and physically knocking on doors to express your interest in buying.

This could be structured as equity or a preferred return to your partners.5.
