Potentially becomes an extortion issue if you hire an agent to list and sell.

This included paying for storage pods, hiring movers to help pack and load her belongings, and purchasing flights for Anna and her adult son, who has special needs.

@Amyson Varughese either figure out the eviction process or hire an experienced attorney that all they do is evictions.Otherwise, your tenant will teach YOU a lesson!

Hire a local home inspector or contractor to assess the property and provide a detailed report.

And it appears that the amount of work is not high enough to hire a full time person.Does anyone have some good best-practice or ideas to show how you manage the work load and staffing for similar scenarios?

If you are getting paid based as a percentage of the sale / purchase price, that sounds an awful lot like a commission to me.However, I am not your attorney, so if you want a definitive answer to your question, I would recommend you hire an experience Texas real estate attorney OR get a real estate license (and then you don't have to worry about the issue).

Some homeowners hire a property manager to manage the other 1-3 units for the owner.

Hi Fergus,If you can handle the workload thats going to come with building the two duplex's, I say go for it.If your going to be biting off more than you can chew, liquidate.It really depends on your risk tolerance at this point.The construction loan is a doable deal as long as you have solid credit, have experience /hire a builder.

But I feel when booking all sorts of things that unanswered bad reviews feel like confessions from the seller/owner/etc. that the review is correct.Some landlords and sellers hire companies to threaten to sue people who leave bad reviews if they can't back up their assertions.

on a BRRRR appraisal in particular... the lender will hire it out to an appraisal company.
