Am I hard nosed enough to start taking the legal steps toward a Trustee's Sale (these were in Texas) on the second of the month?

i understand most have problems finding deals many write under peoples noses.  

Not to shabby for just over 6 months of toil and nose to the grind stone.... 

And  I  even thought I had it safe guarded from all my cpvc from fracturing in a million splinters  from end to end by leaving the furthest water valves on the supply lines open.

I had done well as an owner trading up my principle residence half a dozen times as markets rose during the 80s and 90s but sold out during the dot com bust in 2002 and have been a Silicon Valley renter paying through the nose since then staying close to my tech job.

Landlords that fall for tenant lies usually pay through the nose.

Sometimes, the answer is right under our noses. 

It means you need to file/pay state quarterly taxes (B&O Taxes) on that Income and report a Schedule C business now that you pay SE tax on vs. no SE tax if that income would have stayed on Sch E as rental income.
