Currently our favorite idea is a SFH we can convert to an up down duplex by sealing off a staircase with an ADU on the property for us to live in.

Some commuters to Dallas, because rent is cheaper in Sherman than Dallas.As far as DFW metroplex goes, probably one of my favorite cities for investment right now.My thought is look at newer homes vs the 100 year old ones. 

Just shop around online, look for properties similar to yours, add them to favorites and watch them to see how long it takes for them to rent.

I spoke with the title company who is still helping us wrap up the set-up of a servicing company, and she confirmed that they would be responsible for the principal / interest for Nov and Dec, while we are responsible for the escrow shortage balance (as agreed upon).Not sure how it was missed - not my favorite title company to work with.

Explore my personal favorites, Set For Life by Scott Trench or The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey, for invaluable financial insights.3.

Personally, my favorite way of sourcing deals is building relationships with brokers and nurturing those relationships by checking in consistently.

Material participation in the rental activities still required. 

Quote from @Allen Masry: Quote from @Chris Seveney: Do you want to be active or passive ?

Because I'm here, active in the market and I do NOT want every fool rushing in and ruining it for me and my clients.    

We would like for the investment to be treated as active, of course.
