I currently own a 1 bed 1 bath single-family house as my primary residence.

Gaining a risk-free property, with a long-term resident there to pay down your fees, etc, with a property management company in place to hold your hand along the way and making sure your property is kept up with. 

This means that your permanent residence is excluded (except if you are doing a house hack in which the part that is rented out is eligible for cost segregation).

Hi Penny i'm actually an investor that resides in Odessa as well and my realtor actually just sold a duplex recently and in that area they have several occupied duplexes and some for sale.

If a property is for sale but currently has tenants in it, but the buyer is buying for their primary residence, do eviction laws still apply? 

Since there is a co-owner, you would have to purchase the property and it is really hard (if not impossible) to pull a HELOC as the basis for the purchase (since it is not your primary residence). 

Maybe consider getting a p.m. company that would do some boots on the ground and some research for you to find out what some of these issues could be because you are not close to the residence in the location, unless you can do some research yourself online, or consult with the historical Society of the area, look things up at the library, there are lots of different ways that you could start this process, but my point being that you may end up losing more money in the long run.
