GEG gave investors inspection and appraisal reports. 

REI investing for almost 20 years, owning a wealth management company for 22 years, suffice it to say there has been a lot go data/spreadsheeting/tax analysis/meeting with my team go into this overall decision to sell the entire portfolio at once.  

That could be your PM company if you plan to hire one. 

I work for a flooring company as a designer and meet contractors and people who flip homes regularly so it has me flirting with the idea of doing it myself.My question is, how did you get your spouse to be on board with real estate investing?

A report by a neighboring tenant is admissible in court. 

And i found launch control but the minimum is $500 a month, but they use cross-referencing data across sources to find the most accurate contact information by using a person's name and address to find their phone number, real address and email by accessing public databases, phone number directories, credit reports, utility bils, public tax records, and social media profiles. this is waaay expensive for me as a beginner. what do you suggest or if anyone has any suggestion I'd greatly appreciate it.??

I would look for a professional company like Rentwerx.Here's an eviction resource: https://guides.sll.texas.gov/landlord-tenant-law/about-evict...

Call up a few PM companies and see if they will tell you who they use.

Certainly partnering with companies that have consistent replacement properties available makes sense if the properties meet your investment guidelines.
