Good evening to all,Happy to now be part of this big community and I’m excited to take notes.I’ve been interested in investing in delinquent tax sales here in Houston.

Can they prove how long it takes to rent a vacant property?

I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself here on BiggerPockets.

And that's arguably an optimistic take.

It sounds like you’ve got a solid foundation with your rental property, and I love the ambition behind your plans to build a property management and maintenance company—it’s a great way to take control of your investments while creating additional opportunities.Best of luck to you! 

At that class of property, the delinquencies are not low and have to be properly accounted for.The reason I asked how long you have owned is that it takes a while to recognize the sustained expenses.Obvious is to get rid of the poor tenant. 

It’s exciting to hear you’re looking to scale up into larger multifamily investments—financial independence is a fantastic goal, and it sounds like you’re taking the right steps to get there.It’s great that you’re already focused on assembling a team and diving into market analysis.

You could start with your agent or a local agent who supports investors and could have contacts to refer to you.Lastly, you could consider negotiating with a local PM to take on a hybrid approach to management.  

I understand it was (allegedly) caused by a kid, but parents must take responsibility for their children's actions.

Results have not been great but also realize it takes time.
