@Nick AmYou also may want to consider other matters besides taxes, such as state law requirements for management companies and serving as a property manager, especially with a tiered structure.

I’d like to add that it’s also landlord-friendly—licensing is not required and there aren’t any rent control laws in the state.Likewise, both Greg and Eric have already spoken at length about Montgomery, but I want to draw your attention to a few other under-the-radar markets in the state that also have the potential to cash flow well.The places I had in mind include suburbs outside of Huntsville proper, like Decatur and Hartselle.

Tardus has hundreds of clients who are using the old "tried and true" methods that are extremely passive or finding new ones that require further due diligence.

On the other hand, self-education through books, podcasts, and free resources is cost-effective but requires discipline and a clear plan.

They could make legal arguments about hardship and/or off-sets for non-compliance by landlord, but this would require posting rent or coming even with rent.

Wholesalers are not regulated by Real Estate Agency, therefore not required to abide by certain laws and disclosures.

Lenders will still require a personal guarantee since it is a full recourse loan.

A/C is not required in Texas as well. 

Simplicity: TDAs require minimal effort after initial setup, making them attractive for those seeking stress-free investment.For investors like myself, seeking both stability and growth, combining a TDA with real estate investments creates a diversified portfolio.

If you meet that requirement, I highly recommend it.
