Careful going outside state lines -- contract for deed is not allowed in Texas.I didn't think COD is illegal in Texas, just perhaps not recommended anymore, because it is difficult to comply with the rules or regulations. 

If property is done right even in todays market you can hit 1% rule and attract very desirable college students.

They each offer very different options, and each have different STVR rules as well.  

It depends on a lot of factors; primarily the local jurisdiction rules that may limit lease changes (in Portland/Oregon rent, security deposit, screening fees, an no-cause evictions are heavily regulated).

The state’s housing is also ranked as the fourth most affordable in the country.Alabama currently has the second-lowest average property tax rate in the country at 0.4%, which helps investors keep more of the money they earn.

Something I forgot to mention is I’ve been in the house since 2017, so the 2/5 year rule shouldn’t matter.

One thing I've learned from my experience is that I do not set hard rules.

Asking in the correct forum will get a better response.Read the RULES!

The ruling may be overturned.I do hope that this act is struck down. 

You are quoting old rules.New rules have a calculated period of Qualified vs Non Qualified usage.
