I imagine taking houses that otherwise don't have a chance (Most on the Illinois side) and bringing them up to code to house cryptocurrency mining equipment.

They failed to remove all their possessions, which is the very definition of "abandoned property" and he should act accordingly.Here's the actual Texas statute:(d) A tenant is presumed to have abandoned the premises if goods, equipment, or other property, in an amount substantial enough to indicate a probable intent to abandon the premises, is being or has been removed from the premises and the removal is not within the normal course of the tenant's business.

If its your goal to own lots of rental houses.. in the cash flow markets these days the little rental homes are not selling for retail homeowner values anyway and have not for years.they are selling just like commercial or MF based on income.. if income goes down price will go down .. if income goes up prices go up.this new group of landlords are much better equipped to ride out a down turn than the last set of many landlords that bought pre 08 with no experience and no skin in the game .. the providers of these assets for out of state folks have really cleaned up their act.. 

Depend on the existing condition of the equipment, you can play a little more with this number.  

Equipment. 

Materials, workmanship, finish, and equipment are of stock or builder grade and may feature some upgrades.Q5 Dwellings with this quality rating feature economy of construction and basic functionality as main considerations.

So really equipping myself with knowledge helps combat that. 

(and you yourself wouldn't have to do that much work - just market it as an event site, and the renters are responsible for bringing an event planner, renting extra equipment, etc. etc. etc.
