In place of a flat fee I can see the transition being something based on referral (did my buyer agent get me a trades person, lender, home inspector, etc.

@David To In Texas there is a way of using tenant personal property to pay past rent.

Signing the lease demonstrates they agree to the terms and then you can hold them accountable.If you don't do this, then the person named on the lease and paying the rent could disappear and you would have no legal authority to charge the remaining three for unpaid rent.

I am days/weeks away from trying it at my personal residence.  3500 sqft but only two people using it, so not sure how good of a test it will be. 

During this 24-month period, the property must be rented to another person at a fair market rental value.After the 24 month period your sibling could convert it into a primary residence.

The key is to identify personal property from real property.

Account Closed It will only show on your credit report if the person who is holding the notes goes to a servicing company so it is recorded.

I’m personally based in Houston, TX, and I’ve noticed over the years that a good realtor can do a lot more for an investor than just listing a property.

@William Taylor so many options...Use your RE knowledge to: WholesaleFind rental deals to sell to investors locally or here on BPStart leveraging your personal contacts to build your sales businessFind a motivated seller willing to do seller financing:- Move in worst room or basement, rent out all the other rooms for max cashflow- You could even live in the basement and STR the rest of the house

To a point made by another person who commented, you may be able to have a lender do a 'one-off' portfolio loan at a 95% LTV if they trust you enough . good luck.
