Which brings me to my second issue: I don't believe (but haven't looked closely) that most of these funds are even trying to gain contractual control of the deal.  

I don't believe that is what you mean, but an attorney, believe it or not, can also negotiate.

I believe that this might be due to a leaking roof but I'm not sure. 

I believe they are still illegal everywhere else in the state.

There is a concept in the law I believe called "undue enrichment" meaning that you benefited by something they did. 

And why even have notary if we aren't going to believe them.

I believe title insurance rates in Texas are promulgated by the state so the premium will probably be the same wherever you go. 

The entire list of pre foreclosures, probates, bank owned properties, cash buyers list  you can buy from us for I believe $159 per month.

Currently, there's only one water meter for the entire duplex, and historically, I've been responsible for paying the water bills every month.However, I believe it's time to transition to a system where the water bill is split between the two tenants.

For those of you trying to “Time the Market” or trying to figure out the “Perfect Time to Buy”, either because you believe home prices will drop or because interest rates will drop (which they will in the very near future), I have a scenario for you.Consider these two scenarios, in both cases you have the EXACT SAME Principal & Interest Payment1.
