As in - for directions to our office press 1.

If you really want to make a stink, contact the local press and put the pressure on them.Here's a thread regarding the company I was dealing with.

If the opening bid is not in your list view you can press the customize button and easily add the opening bid column.The advanced alerts, which automatically sends you a text message or email when an opening bid is posted to the site, does require an additional fee.

Usually years of accumulated silt have filled the clay weeping tiles, the earth on the outside of the home is pressed tightly to the concrete foundation leaving water no where to go.

As others have noted, you'll be hard pressed to find a multi family and likely will need to default to a SFH in Houston.  

At least that's what the press releases say. 

I doubt many tenants would follow the watering schedule and do extra yard work.So, from a practical point of view I would go with the least expensive option but press the seller to give $11K repair credit for the most expensive one.This will provide enough safety cushion for possible plumbing repairs. 

I also use Bench for my bookkeepers as its saves me time

(unless you want to fly to Canada and point out which multi family i should buy, cause that would be awesome) i will do my own work. it would be nice though, to have more tools in my toolbox, J was kind enough to open his toolbox for us, and though his method might not work everywhere, at least i, and others here, can learn from what he wrote. i would be hard pressed to learn anything from what you wrote but how to critique someone else. im a budding investor... everyone around me does that everyday about this path of mine...

Also using Zapier is great as well to help you connect with other services like Lob (for autosending mail) and Gravity Forms (word press contact form plugin).
