@Hannah Harris, dating from most recent tax auction

Quote from @Theresa Harris: Quote from @Bob Stevens: Quote from @Damein White: I’m thinking should i add mini split to my properties but will it increase my home value  what's a mini split ?  

I am more worried about a tenant who makes $140k a year and spends $4k a month on rent.When you make good money you don't need to follow everything by the books to survive financially. 

(Also, the self-directed inherited IRA could hold the real estate it purchases in an LLC.)True, you can't get the special benefits available to a surviving spouse who inherits their spouse's IRA -- e.g., treating the IRA as their own, doing a "spousal rollover" to a new account, and not being required to take minimum distributions until their required beginning date.

CoStar reports the property to be 52.7% vacant, but keep in mind that this data is often inaccurate (but not enough to make a difference with vacancy that high).Figuring this set of facts spelled trouble, I went to the Harris County Recorder's grantor/grantee index and found a foreclosure deed. 

The first is the second Thursday of each month at the Harry Buffalo in Lakewood.

Yet, I barely survive thanks only to the pandemic era low interest rates and tax abatement.

The numbers" from a cashflow standpoint will mean different things for different people.Personally, I won't get out of bed unless I can earn a 15% net cashflow ROI yearly on any deal.Any appreciation I consider just the cherry on top.Granted, I wouldn't complain if I had some major appreciation on any rental since the time I started investing in 2011.Also, you can't really live/survive off the appreciation unless you tap into a HELOC.You can however always live/survive of the cashflow.Just my opinion.Thanks 

A good realtor AND property manager (I prefer a PM who is also an investor as mentioned by @Dean Harris) will be so key in helping you with not only rental estimates but letting you know about the caliber of the surrounding neighbourhood.

Hey @Harry Case!
