--------------------------------------I don't think it prevents you as an owner from initiating the action.Personally, I wouldn't have any moratoriums on private transactions.  

However, be mindful that preventative maintenance, such as HVAC servicing, can arise even with recent renovations.

You can deny a showing, but you cannot prevent/discourage someone from applying.

Despite signing on the court day that she would move out in 7 days and waiving her right to appeal, she still appealed, preventing me from filing a writ of possession.

But then we have to get into talking about the passive loss rules, which may prevent you from actually being able to claim a tax loss if the deduction is more than your rental or other passive income.Or you can claim the actual expenses (gas, insurance, etc) for the vehicle and regular depreciation, proportioned by the percent of business use of the vehicle.  

Even the best property management companies (PMC) struggle with:- Finding reliable handyman and contractors (ServiceTechs)- Same with affordable ones- Tracking preventive maintenance- Tracking previous work for potential reoccurrence warranty coverage- Understanding tenant reported problems, so the correct ServiceTech can be dispatched- Determining if tenant is at fault for an issue & should be charged - and will proof stand up in court?

@Pat Aboukhaled I would ULS (unit lot segment) the primary house and include a clause in the call option that would prevent them acquiring the DADU.

Keeping everyone aligned—lenders, inspectors, attorneys—prevents bottlenecks that could derail the timeline.Lastly, tackling big tasks early (like ordering inspections or raising equity) is a game-changer.

Quote from @John Underwood: LOLI'm certain they will add restrictions to prevent people from doing this.

There are no restrictions preventing out-of-state investors from purchasing rental properties in Texas—these investors enjoy the same opportunities as Texas residents.Additionally, the financing restrictions you mentioned don’t align with reality.
