Another option is habitat for humanity, they have a location in Houston.

Househacking is out since I have a son with immune issues I can’t risk his health to live with other people so I’ll probably go SFH and work up to units.

I have some health issues flaring up this week that make me unable to reliably sit and focus so I would be afraid to waste your time right now (I started writing this message yesterday for example and suddenly had to go lay down before I could finish).I would love to take you up on that though once my health stuff hopefully settles down again.The quote about the quitclaim deed was a website where the county lists the properties for sale, not actually on the Ada county website (I don't think I ever saw the word "quitclaim" on the Ada County site) - but I did find on the Canyon County (right next door to Ada county, I actually live in Canyon):"For each property sold, the County will transfer its interest by quitclaim deed without warranty or representation."

Well there is a bad  time to invest, if one don't have the experience and  one could not borrow/obtain cash for reason or another, greed and overconfidence are bad to human, if someone would like to invest in daily basis without enough knowledge and cash will at the end of the day will destroy him financially.

As crazy as it sounds it is basic human behavior.

From fully automated Kiosks (an ATM looking thing that rents the unit, sets up auto billing on tenants bank or credit card, dispenses a lock if the new tenant wants to buy one etc), to smart phone Apps that do the same thing (except vend a lock) to 24 hour USA based call centers that will manage the business and rent the units for those customers who want a human to talk to (and the Kiosk software, smarphone App software, and call center sofware can all be seemlessly integrated within your business management software.

This may very well be the first story of many of why they can't pay their rent on time - bank issue, health issue, pet issue, etc, etc, etc. 

If a tenant finds out that you put the pump on their meter and they report you to the city or board of health you will end up paying their full utility bill.  

I started reading from real estate books (Rich Dad, Poor Dad, etc), but honestly couldn't focus enough with all that was going on and decided to focus on my health.
