@Omar MalikNo way to "fix it" other than vote in AZ and get the law changed.You don't pay taxes on it directly, but you do indirectly.

This in direct alignment with what Suze Orman always says: "People first, then Money, then Things"

Also, as I am from a state where the taxes are really high, moving to KSMO will also indirectly help cash flow by reducing my taxes (I am look at FHA loan, with ~3% down). 

Everyone I know in Houston is impacted either directly and indirectly by this terrible storm.

Too many people unfortunately in todays world do live paycheck to paycheck and are unable to save up to owning simply because they are undisciplined when it comes to money. 1st financial law from the book "The Richest man in Babylon" : one's "necessary" expenses will increase AND decrease in DIRECT proportion to ones income.

This leads to them paying crazy amounts of money in direct mail just to get a deal.

I am involved directly or indirectly with the purchase of vacation homes here, renovations, property management and the short term rental marketing of the homes. 

@John Cantey As far as I know, for Venmo, you will require a business account to collect rent, since by using a personal account, you are in direct violation of their User Agreements.

And yes I think distressed properties would be the best, mostly cosmetic nothing crazy. maybe I will invest some money in direct mail in pueblo while I look for a deal in Denver see which one pans out first. 

I should add that I have 4 other friends and family members in my home town that are interested in direct investment and would go in on a deal allowing us to buy a small apartment building or MHP.
