I called the tenant who lives in the apartment where the threat supposedly came from and he was not home all day, no one was home all day due to being at a July 4th family bbq...

Maybe have a BBQ Party every couple of months.Invite people you know and those you have just met.On the buy day for the food, text them to see if they are going to be there or not.Don't talk business, just have fun.Just make sure everyone has a seat available in the shade--that Texas sun can get hot.Maybe get a couple of friends to be grill masters.Talk to your tax expert to see if you can deduct this (or not).Work at expanding the number of new people every BBQ and in a few years you will have a much bigger circle of friends.The trick is to invite people who share your passion for real estate vs just your buddies.You can make it a family invite where the can bring their kids, meaning an afternoon party vs an all night booze binge (remember this is business).https://www.youtube.com/watch?

@Jeff Goodale I attended a two day seminar that included the Memphis in May bbq.

Gas grills, patio furniture, artwork and other things like that are bonus items. 

Also you may need to add return air grills to this room since it's newly finished space.

@Neil NarayanWe all know the real reasons everyone's flocking to Texas...BBQ, Whataburger, and HEB : )In all seriousness, I moved to Texas about 4 years ago and quickly came to understand why it's such a great place, for both real estate investing and raising a family.
