If it goes to foreclosure and you ahve sufficient funds, you could go to the sale if you want to buy prior to the sale contact the Trustee conducting the sale.....Good luck....

Don't get overly concerned about public liability but you do need to be aware, keep properties in good and safe condition, know the rules and conduct your business with attention to details and you should be fine and carry insurance....And I believe Texas has an LLC that limits liability to a subject property safeguarding other business assets, which is unique, I suggest you simply form your business in Texas.

=)This is how I conduct my business.
