If they buy something for your property and you pay them back, it’s just like you bought it yourself—so you can count it as an expense in your bookkeeping.If they don’t get reimbursed, then technically it’s a gift/donation, and you can’t deduct it as an expense.

Also as I understand it qualification for these loans are based on the property as opposed to the borrower.

Whether it be cleaning their properties or doing manual labor.

You were not afforded a reasonable (in most states, 30 days) amount of notice to re-market your property. 

My property tax is around $350 a year. 

You pay a bit more, but you get exactly what you want and don't have to worry about maintenance for a while which is obviously a savings.I live in the Woodlands, so considering the location of my home and rental property, I'd ideally like to build this in the area of The Woodlands, Conroe, Spring, Tomball, Klein, or Cypress. 

@Zach Howard the winter months are also the worst time to sell a property!

I really don’t want this person in my property anymore. 

Some people may go higher end, but naturally it depends on the property and neighborhood.

My new plan is to start with a small multifamily property or a couple of single-family homes, buying distressed properties using my HELOC to cover both the purchase and rehab costs.
