I did speak to an attorney and she also stated that Dallas county is tenant friendly similar to Chicago, it's not uncommon for judges to change court dates at last min and give tenants unnecessary leeway. 

There are a lot of rules about the various offering types and investor accreditation to "protect" investors from fraud or making unsuitable investments.The JOBS Act is making it easier for companies to raise money from the public and imposes minimal requirements for suitability.

A reserve is unnecessary, but I still keep around $15,000 - $20,000 in my account.The point is, that you should sit down and assess your finances to determine what the worst-case scenario may look like, how much you would need to cover it without impacting your life, and whether you will need to build a reserve.

Got this note from VRBO today:Dear Partner, We are writing to inform you that effective July 1, 2024, California Assembly Bill 537 will prohibit advertising, displaying or offering a rate that does not include all fees or charges required to stay at a short-term lodging (except taxes and fees imposed by a government on the stay).

Proper's quote came in 3x as much as State Farm's (although we could probably get that number down if I go item by item to remove a bunch of unnecessary items).

Those who are keeping the loan in-house often impose more restrictions and tighter terms (called "overlays") than those who don't.Do you have a model in place to figure out a purchase price? 

That'd be nice, but unnecessary.
