He used to own his one high performance custom auto part shop and rather enjoys the RE investing lifestyle.Good luck.If you have questions find the right forum on BP and post away.Do check for a local REIA in your area as TX has some laws that are rather different from the rest of the US.

Enjoyed the connection after all of these years.

I hope you get and read that book, its one for shelves that you will enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: Now, what I am going to write next shouldn't be taken for absolute certainty...obviously you would want to verify this with a finance specialist (and that I am not).In Florida for example, if you rent out a vacation property for fewer than 15 days in a given year, the property is considered a personal vacation home, regardless of the amount of personal use.

At the time I had 14 or so rentals, about 1/2 of which were NICER, BIGGER, AT LEAST AS GOOD OF NEIGHBORHOODS as where I lived.One day after returning from a round of golf and enjoying a beer or 5 two of my DEADBEAT tenants brought their rent (and late charges) over to me.

Are they vacation props or long term rentals?
