However, there are a lot of hotels looking to build in and near downtown Waco and you best believe they will start lobbying and pushing their weight around to get STRs banned or regulated as much as possible when they start moving forward with development.

I mean it makes me proud listening to them talk through all this with no HINT of this being an emergency. which they finally declared and there are pilots that can literally fly an entire career and never declare and emergency.Bottom line approach at their weight was about 140  this guy came barreling down final at 180 to 190 thats a big deal in a Commercial jet liner..  

As far as finding the property, a good realtor is worth their weight in gold!

Ask the dumpster company how much weight comes "for free" with the dumpster, and what the cost per ton is for going over that weight. 

Bulk up the porch columns to give them more weight.

I will tell you that those nerves are normal and it means you are thinking carefully about the decision and understand its weight. 

... also, regarding you getting a loan with this proposed purchase: the credit of the IRA account owner would not be of weight here, the loan must be non-recourse, the IRA account owner can not personally guarantee this loan. 

My specific question for experienced landlords is: Do you ignore or put less weight in medical collections as opposed to other types of collections?

It might weight one location above another if it's already on your list of possibilities for other reasons, but it wouldn't be a determining factor in any way for me.Really, you can do real estate anywhere in some shape or form, so you can move where you want and figure out how to make real estate work there, or move where you want and figure out how to make real estate work for you "long distance".  

This is a pretty stressful time for us right now, and are curious if there is any help or loophole to this situation to take some of this weight off of our shoulders.Thank you so much for your time.
