Investing OOS for the first time, and using a TK provider for the first time.I understand I'll be paying (significantly) more for a TK provider home.

As I am new to this and looking for cashflow using rentals, one key aspect of this investment is to ensure that the unit rents out quickly and while I do understand that cash flow to begin with might not be attractive, it can be a good investment in the long run if the location is right(as appreciation also kicks in).

If I understand correctly your siblings goals are to sell their rental properties, use the funds to purchase a primary residence they'll eventually move into, and limit their tax liability correct?

But right now, it's my understanding that Texas has given a little more time on the requirements.Be happy to assist you...and the price is right...LOL, I don't charge any fee!

Check your state laws on tenant abandonment - then follow them.You can choose to be more aggressive, but make sure you understand the risks!

In 1997, I don't fully understand why, the City of Denver paid the golf course owners $2mil to rezone this parcel as a "conservation easement" this was extremely restrictive zoning and meant it would essentially be destined to be a golf course for eternity 3.

Most people don't sell an STR that is making them a ton of money so odds are it could look better, although they could be selling it for other reasons.

I think demand is decent.If you're looking in a flood zone you'll definitely want to understand the FEMA 50% rule.

What I don’t understand, and help me on this, is why someone would simply want to purchase the Mortgage/DOT without the note. 

Planning for flexibility with frequent moves and understanding property management will set you up for success when you start investing in 2026.Good luck!
