Maybe knock on a few neighbors doors and ask some questions.I've found in Texas most people are pretty nice and friendly...the tax assessor people, the appraisal district people, the sheriff's office, maybe the county commissioners, etc. 

In some cases, after running the numbers, I’ve even faced potential negative returns, causing me to miss out on promising deals here in South Florida.That brings me to my question: I currently own two homes—one is my primary residence, and the other is a rental property.

Within a residence there is a presumed right to privacy and installing cameras by you or your tenants can bring you legal issues.  

Try not to get locked in too long 4. we're not necessarily looking to go "all out" in terms of theming, but if we did, what kind of revenue does that bring/ROI can you expect, and which Renos for theming are best to do from a cost-benefit analysis, and what do they typically cost?

All the people I know who bought there did it for lifestyle.

He is looking at a group of investors like myself to bring 25% of the project value and then procure a bank loan for the remaining 75%.

We are the kind of people who do not jump into anything without fully planning it out.

Do you guys ever take the risk of buying a foreclosure at sheriff sale with the previous owner still living in it? How do you calculate rehab cost given you can’t look inside?

Some high and lowlights:- I had one tenant that brought German cockroaches in and then blamed it on me- Same tenant asking if her daughter can visit but failed to mention it was 5 more very noisy people- another tenant having constant loud arguments with his gf- tenant saved some of my stuff when the house flooded due to a pipe burst and another time during a monster rain storm.

Reason why is if you go to sell it, people are not going to comp it based on 40 year loan.
