Texas division of banking (whatever they are called in that state) probably should have done something but appears they didn’tDHS actually is one of the departments that prosecuted criminal financial crimes - most think of them only as border patrol as their major function but they also investigate this type of activityhttps://www.dhs.gov/hsi/investigate/financial-crimeTime will tell if these cases ever go anywhere but for those involved probably just happy someone finally picked up a phone to atleast listen to IRS criminal is another good one to sic on them..

I've read a couple of Brandon Turner's books now and have been getting really into the mindset to start this journey.A couple major items I'm initially thinking of is where to start.

You'll see rate improvements at 25% and 30% down for most loan products.

i am confident i can manage the relatively small amount of requests, and have heard some good things about apps and software that are a "one stop shop" for landlords that allow payment, leases, and repair requests. i have one out of state rental property with a plethora of options for handymen and contractors around. i have been paying a property management company 8% plus all of their inflated costs of repairs and fees and with insurance going up it has really opened my eyes to my margins not as healthy as i would like.do you have a certain product you have used or use or would recommend?

You could use a floor leveling product but check the square feet to see if the product covers large spaces.

Stores like Home Depot or Ace will have products specifically designed for removing difficult adhesives, but you can also DIY with household products.

Thus, I am interested in suburban space near major cities, not the downtown inventory that is trading for pennies on the dollar, but often involve massive office complexes that will have huge holding costs until they get leased up. 

Great tools that get updated regularly.I am on the lending side of things and would be happy to hop on a call with you anytime to discuss financial strategies and help answer any questions you may have about nearly any loan product available to help you on your journey, even if they are not products my capital partners offer.We are all here to help you learn and grow.

So one major repair can wipe out a year's worth of profit.

Part of the value of the STR is that we will plan to use this property 4-8 times per year.The property is a few hours from the major metro that I live in, and is a vacation destination for lots of people in my area.
