Does it decrease maintenance or speed up your unit turns down the road?

Charlotte is one of the fastest growing cities in the US right now!

Yes, the fastest route to epic life misery is a partnership done wrong.

@Peter Mosites, I bought Speed Queen washer/dryers with a card system called Spyderwash.

Fastest option would be to sell it to an investor, and they either pay cash for it OR if it would qualify for a DSCR loan (for rentals) it can close in 25-30 days. 

The market is on an excellent growth trend and is now being forecasted as one of the fastest growing markets in the U.S. and prices are still relatively low.

Quote from @Eric James: Keep in mind in TX you likely won't be able to get title insurance for 2-3 years on a tax sale property, so not a good idea to spend money until then. can you do a quiet title to speed up the process ??? 

For example, if in the rental application you don't put xyz it's illegal and you can get suedif in the rental application you mention xyz it's illegal and you can get suedif you put clause xyz in the lease, it's illegal and you can get suedif you don't put xyz clause in the lease, it's illegal and you can get suedif you sign the lease wrong, the whole lease is void and you don't have a leaseif you don't provide xyz to the tenant, you can get suednot to mention how unfriendly my state is with respect to landlords, if a tenant is not paying rent, good luck evicting them. plenty of properties in my market for dirt cheap because it has deadbeat tenants and nobody wants to deal with them.yes in an ideal world I have 20 lawyers and accountants on speed dial who I can call any time, but lawyers and accountants are expensive and I have done the math, at best if you are really lucky you can barely cover your mortgage, I don't have money for a lawyer.

Since I'm not, leverage was just another tool to speed things up.

So, we are back to working with Wealthability to find us a CPA that is more our speed.
