How do you handle furnace filters, etc...SuggestionsI just had pipes in a kitchen freeze in one property this week.

In my case the evictions were handled by the sheriff's office.

Any lawyer or title company familiar with Texas can make sure the transactions are handled properly.

Erick, your response just confirms my statement that you don't know how to handle this.

On initial contact from prospective tenants we send out our application guide & form, along with a floor-plan and additional information on the property in questions ... for those contacting via an e-mail address in our on-lines advertisements, this is handled by an auto-responder.

If you have any questions/concerns about the contract, see if you can pay an agent (or an attorney) a couple hundred bucks just to handle the paperwork.

Just to protect yourself, not just from your partner, but say a contractor gets hurt, if the LLC isn't filed correctly with an accurate Operating Agreement, you are LIABLE.Further, the key to an operating agreement is to clearly detail ownership, responsibilities, how to handle the bookkeeping, and also should detail how to remove a partner should one person want to leave.These are absolutely key.

Contacted a lawyer who was handling the legal issues of an estate sale.

Yes, you can get 10 conforming, if you go to a bank or a broker not familiar with investors they might tell you 4, but its 10.The underwriting changes when you get to loan 5, and frankly its more of a headache for the broker (and the borrower), so a lot of lenders don't handle 5-10.Some of the rules that change beside the reserves, no cash out on NOO after your to mortgage 5, your mid score has to be a 720.As far as portfolio lenders,,as many as they will write you, and when you finish with that lender go to the next,,the limits are on conforming (say Fannie/Freddie) loans

What you really need to ponder is if you can handle the extra time and emotional energy the low income can zap - chasing rent, doing the same rehab over and over, not being able to go after damages.I would do Section 8 in a heartbeat, there are more incentives to do the right thing to keep or reinstate their vouchers.
