They don't want to own more property than they already do.Also, check with your local taxing authority to get a number on any back taxes currently owed. 

I have authored books and guides for landlords, developers, investors, and property managers ...powered by QuickBooks.Do contact me would be glad to talk to you. 

Fourth, I have zero interest in subjecting myself to the regulatory authority of the local real estate commission or other realtors.  

@Mike LaCava is a member here and one of the authors on the main BP blog.He's also is a very successful local investor down in the south east part of the state and runs that meetup in Plymouth.  

Call the property tax authority and ask them if owner data is public record and then get a spreadsheet export of properties that meet your criteria.

Don't sweat the cops - they actually have no authority in this type of situation (even if they think they do). 

Another great thing about Texas is that the Tax Authority has already foreclosed on the property.

see below... this is the site you want to go to.. its free.. and its the actual trustee selling the assets. the other companies just republish public records.I bought all my pre foreclosures =within 72 hours of the sale by door knocking.. that's when denial turns into action. you need to have your cash ready and a good relationship with the title co. and your authorization for them to sign to give to the bank so you can get a payoff from bank or Northwest trustee.. we were on first name basis with all the trustee services there is no reason to pay for this information just find out the trustee services and sign up with them.. they must by law answer your phone calls and or written enquiresnorthwesttrustee.com

I have a friend who is an author and specialist in Washington wineries.

At the first board meeting, you could have the members authorize reimbursement of the expenses.
