@James Daley  You'll need some 'skin in the game' on a deal like this. 

Surface- Rock or hard surface (concrete/asphalt);If on rock/asphalt put your tongue leg or stabilizer pads on widerpads to spread the weight out.

unemployment are cracking behind the surface, the actual number of unemployment is different in every state, California is the worst in term of layoffs in 2023 , but California is also the best performance in residential real estate in 2023.

If you get a no on any of these questions, you are probably not dealing with a true turn key... and they will not have enough skin in the game to do a good job for you. 

That local partner can then become our eyes and ears who has skin in the game with us. 

You can tell what zone you are in by searching your address here. https://msc.fema.gov/portal/search The City of San Antonio looks like they allow for certain construction in the floodplain as long as it does not raise the water surface more than 6 inches,but the "no rise" applies to the floodway.

No one has more "skin in the game" than a PMC as they have to deal with the property every day until an owner sells or fires them.Also recommend finding your own Inspector and not one referred by an agent.

There is another easy route that requires thick skin, invest in warzone cause you will here many investors don't do it and because of that house in those area cost $10k or less.

Buyer has no skin in the game.

I would suggest you make the request to have the tenants leave, AND, if it delays the transaction that's no skin off your back - just keep you lender/bank in the loop!
