You should have the cell phone of anyone you deal with regularly and they should have alternate points of contact if there's a conflict that keeps them from handling your file personally. 

My goal in posting this is to see if there's anyone in the Dallas/North Texas area that would be interested in starting some sort of regular meetup with me where we can share ideas, information, etc.

Mobile homes can be cheaper, but they might not appreciate in value like a regular house would.

If anything, the real "trick" is providing a service to someone at no-cost, then having to pay the repair bill when the infrastructure for that free service breaks or when performing regular maintenance (pumpouts).Family size is definitely a consideration.When was a tenant, I cant recall anything being provided for free.  

@Chris F. if you find a smaller collection agency, service will suffer.We've used many and the biggest challenge is that they're unorganized and don't give regular updates. 

Hoping I could do a Subject 2 as the owner purchased in 11/2022 and regular finance to the deal price. 

Also, assume a regular job so I do not need extra income.

In my main market I get better rents from regular non-Section 8 renters. 

They use regular title insurance companies.

Option 1 isn’t even capital gains tax, is full bore regular tax.
