While I haven't found it YET, I now know that I am armed with good knowledge and have a few team members on my side who are true experts. 

True mate,Always needed to get eyes on the property.Even if it meant sticking my nose on every window and looking through.Even the basement windows lolI think it's too high risk buying completely blind and not doing at least that.Ideal world, the back door is unlocked.And luckily for me "It was always unlocked" by me hahahaha Lol, yeah, I gotcha.

Cheap is expensive is a saying you hear which is true.

Hi @Hassan Oukacha - Being from Texas you would need to either get your real estate license or use an online service like Inestway.com or Propelio.com - both are brokerage websites that offer true MLS sold comps for you.Full disclosure I am the co-founder of Propelio.com, but there are other sources like investway that I mentioned.

So true I mean rent free would be #1 goal but I can make do with half my living cut down .

Also AirBNB stocking fees, maintenance, cap ex.But at the same token know that the principal portion of your mortgage payment is actually not a true expense so there is that benefit to doing all of this even if you are light on the cash flow or break even.  

Not true at all.If you want to successfully run an STR you need to be on both AirBnB and VRBO at the very least, PLUS run direct bookings.

I'm all about protecting the innocent, but how do you know if the claims are true?

you should be calling an attorney if what you've said above is true. 

You can trick your heatpump tstat all you want on your own dime 😁🥶True , but boilers put off heat , if the Tstat is in the boiler room , the rest of the house would never see heat from the boiler anyway .
