I have found that *most* tenants will be honest about what they did and did not do.

They are pure GARBGE. 3 months after they issued my premium I still get calls from their clowns to sign something and that insurance is not bound....I dont believe they are operating a insurance company, likely a scam artist to be honest  Sounds like this is an issue with their call center/in-house agency? 

If you ever need a second opinion of ARV's in The Springs, I work with many investors and could give you an honest opinion of values in the area. 

Honestly, I’ve been around long enough to see 50-year loans, interest-only mortgages, and 40-year mortgages with balloon payments after 15 or 30 years.

@Damon DidditI would contact your real estate attorney now for an honest opinion on costs and timelines if this did go to eviction.

Honestly if you are doing STR I would suggest doing Austin itself rather than all the way out there in Kyle - maybe a couple of years ago when the prices were through the roof in Austin city itself this would be a good alternative but there is a blip right now where you can get a god entry point in Austin (downtown/east ideally) for STR

Transparency is key—being honest will help you avoid unnecessary stress and ensure peace of mind.

AT MOST you rent it out for 2 years and then sell it but honestly you’re probably better off just selling it.Assuming zero vacancy and zero capex you’re going to make about $12k/yr.

Honestly once the doc was signed, most of deal was on me to deliver.
