In the meantime, I'd like to get my Texas Real Estate License, but would like to know if I could do a few deals remotely before return back stateside to Texas, and can come into the office. 

Cold calling, mailers, signs, google/Facebook, RE meetups, RE agents are all ways a whole sales would find deals

So, if deadline not met, we will send our people to handle.4) Vacant properties are easier to deal with, but we still require:- Owner must sign a Hold Harmless to indemnify us against any potential lawsuits relating to the work their contractor is doing and add us to contractor's insurance.--- Another lawsuit from a prospective tenant that slipped during a showing and when they grabbed the handrail, installed by owner's contractor, it collapsed and person injured.- Since we're not really in full control of the property, the Hold Harmless also indemnifies us against anything that goes missing at the property and squatters.We get asked/told to do all kinds of crazy stuff by owners, who either don't care what happens to us or haven't really thought everything through.Hope this addresses your question.
