Laguna is a great area I have some good friends down there if you need some references. 

Anyone know of one?  State Farm just told me I have too many houses and have to move on. 

Make friends and ask people to sit in on their deals.

Yes, generally speaking, depending on tenant class, it's best not to get too friendly with your tenants.

They also handle legal matters, like making sure the property follows the rules or dealing with evictions if necessary.For finding deals, I recommend starting by connecting with investor-friendly agents in your target market.

Fortunately for me all my friends have already called dibs!

There's a lot of things im unsure of and any small mistake will hurt since things are tight make more friends that have money, see if theyre willing to do the deal with you if you can find a way to make them money without them having to do any work. 

I have a friend that takes sec 8 tenants.

First, Texas is one of the most landlord friendly states in terms of laws.

It all started when my wife's college friend offered me an opportunity to invest in a commercial property.
