@Theresa Harris makes sense - thanks for sharing.

So, slightly different in the structure but can still be of service to those of us that had a loss.And while I am referencing Texas these are the same links to use anywhere in the country at any time for a declared "Federal Disaster Area".Feel free to share this information with anyone that you know that might have been impacted by these storms and maybe this can help them in some way.To apply a claim as an individual use this link: https://www.disasterassistance.gov/To apply a claim as a business use this link: https://www.sba.gov/funding-programs/disaster-assistanceAs of this post the counties declared as a disaster area in Texas are as follows: Austin, Bell, Calhoun, Collin, Cooke, Coryell, Dallas, Denton, Eastland, Ellis, Falls, Guadalupe, Hardin, Harris, Henderson, Hockley, Jasper, Jones, Kaufman, Lamar, Leon, Liberty, Montague, Montgomery, Navarro, Newton, Polk, San Jacinto, Smith, Terrell, Trinity, Tyler, Van Zandt, Walker and Waller counties.

CoStar reports the property to be 52.7% vacant, but keep in mind that this data is often inaccurate (but not enough to make a difference with vacancy that high).Figuring this set of facts spelled trouble, I went to the Harris County Recorder's grantor/grantee index and found a foreclosure deed.

A good realtor AND property manager (I prefer a PM who is also an investor as mentioned by @Dean Harris) will be so key in helping you with not only rental estimates but letting you know about the caliber of the surrounding neighbourhood.
