I know the name of the daughter and my plan is to drop a handwritten letter in the mail expressing my interest in buying the property. 

FNMA LLPAs, page 2 of 7, 85% LTV v 75% LTV: https://www.fanniemae.com/content/pricing/llpa-mat...FWIW, if you borrow say $500k or so, the closing costs expressed as a percentage will drop down a bunch.

Apparently in Austin you can pay $6.50 for an express permit to retile your tub surrround and/or add insulation and a handful of other interior improvements including replacing a window without altering the size/header.  

What I meant to express is that there is likely a trade off between force appreciation and return + time.

The tenant has expressed her fondness for the place unfortunately and wants to try and press me for timelines and her desire to move back in.

They have expressed their desire to move and sell their home.

Last Thursday, I expressed this to my realtor and she agreed.

In general, Texas is a litigious state and landowners make a bit of sport about suing the deeper pockets of operating and pipeline companies, so those companies will often express some flexibility in dealing with you to create good relations.  

I'm thinking that if folks have NOT leased to felons before, the opinion expressed is simply that.

Even that isn’t enough to express it.So I contacted there Insurance and in two days, I had someone calling me to get everything sorted out.
