This is what I think I know:- The borrower can choose to pay off the note at any time (by selling the property or just paying off the loan with other funds), so it is important that the legal balance covers my investment and some profit- The borrower could file bankruptcy (can someone confirm that this will only cause delay, but not jeopardize ultimately collecting the legal balance of the note)- Most of these DOTs will have a rent assignment clause, so I could try to enforce that and collect rents from tenants (essentially manage the property) while I am holding the note and trying to foreclose.

The same basic principle applies in situations requiring a gun only multiplied 10X: if you draw your gun you've already lost and if you're in a shootout you should expect to be shot.To address the actual question though "What is best, concealed carry, open carry or no carry?"

It's not a good combination comparing oneself to something that is essentially extremely "better" (extremely easy, extremely successful, extremely lucrative) 

Financial discipline is essential.

South East Texas should have a few experienced crews, so ask around locally or check reviews.One tip: make sure to prepare the new lot properly—things like leveling the ground and checking utility hookups are essential before the move.
