But I don't know enough about TX real estate law to determine an alternative that would not require either the due on sale or refi, and I do NOT want to lose this ridiculously low rate.

It's ridiculous to think that all of us amatuers on BP are better investors than someone paying $20MM cash for an apartment building in SF that isn't cash flow positive.

It's ridiculous.

I’m seeing a lot of sellers offering 10% interest for financing and I think it’s ridiculous.

Those that respond “$0” or something ridiculous, you can request income documentation from them to justify.Don’t be afraid to share with them how much your property taxes & Insurance increased and that YOU cannot afford to absorb them.ALWAYS get an increase or something of value annually or tenants will start thinking they should never have an increase, making future increases that much more difficult to negotiate.

Buying a run-down property and fixing it is difficult because building costs here have become ridiculous.
