I think its going to just take some time for the end buyers in the chain (the people responsible for buying the MBS through the whole process - generally banks, insurance cos, pension funds) - by nature are very conservative and slow to adopt to new things like SRO.Its a tough situation because the message a lot of times ends up being "rent it out traditionally on a single lease since thats more conservative" yet they are out of touch with investors who can only cash flow in this current environment with creative solutions such as rent by room, etc.

Personally I'm not really worried about natural disaster type issues in DFW. 

Think thats just the nature of the beast.

The only issue is that they're usually clumped together, meaning a lot of small time landlords dictate how the neighborhood develops, and naturally most renters are not going to do extra maintenance for someone else's property.

Any resolution to share the costs would need to acknowledge the restricted nature of the common elements involved, such as the windows."

Picture this: a cozy little hideaway tucked into the hills, surrounded by nothing but nature's beauty.

But that's in the nature of capex, you are upgrading your assets.

We live on the west side of town and a lot of the major shopping is on the east side, so we naturally drive by several times a week.  

When you consistently knock it out of the park and go above and beyond, people naturally start to trust you, whether they're investors or partners.You know the saying: trust isn't something you find lying around, waiting to be picked.

When it comes to ensuring the safety and integrity of your property, it's natural to want to conduct a background check on your tenants.
