The site is for the Law firm that handles all of Harris County's tax lien foreclosures.

I use Silverstein Eviction Law and have so for over 20 years. 

I suppose I could have taught myself the law but it sure helped going to law school instead. 

Have you read up on their by-laws to see if you need to use in house management or any other rules?

Zoning laws can seem really boring but ultimately make a huge difference in how our city works and also what you can do on your own property.

Alot of this depends on your local and state laws.

Overbuilt MFH, the vast majority of STRs being converted to LTRs in the past year due to law changes, and rent amounts are currently outpaced with what properties are selling for. 

Here in NYS you cannot collect any deposit beyond one month's rent, but I was charging this as a fee before the laws changed here in 2019.

@Kenneth Soles  I have done this too many times to count.and after all the years of dealing with folks that lost their home be it tax foreclosure ( very very rare on the west coast by the way)  or Trustee or Sherrifs sale ( most common).Rent back can work but usually turns into an eviction shortly .Sell it back is another pipe dream.. unless your willing to owner finance it.. then you have the dodd frank stuff if you want to be letter of the law compliant.

The best advice is consulting a cross border tax specialist who also have a good understanding of US real estate laws and taxation.
