Folks this is meant as a beneficial post and not about good or bad positions.  

Does anyone know of any folks in the Austin, TX area available to show properties to potential tenants?

I need to allocate a certain rent to pay myself as I use 2 offices working as a medical provider (another LLC).

Buyers don't look for financing and its foreign so they don't jump on a forsale listing on zillow.I've had the best (only) luck with zillow rental adds,   starting with the pitch;  rent to own, live in a great home while you pay off owning it. 

If you put the house in her name and you have siblings or other folks who would have a claim as a direct heir on her estate, you run the risk of losing the property to another heir. 

You’re paying $70k in “non-deductible” interest in exchange for less deductible interest. 

I would also pay by activity not by the hour.  

@Jordyn Ohs Assuming your heloc is re-advanceable and the rate is higher than your mortgage, I would suggest you pay your HELOC down as quickly as possible with any cash flow from the properties.

I start by telling them we have a lot of money tied up in the property, and we've been burned by folks that wanted us to believe the best of them.

Folks say use a local lender.
