Most title companies if your just one off buyer wont do the note for you.. they do them for me but we are a top tier client.So you have the note sent to title they prep the closing statement and deed and put your note in the file as well.. when its ready to close the title company is going to contact your lender provide wire instructions and tell them how much they need to wire into close.you going to either go in, or have a mobile notary come to you.. sign notarize the deed of trust ( Notes are generally not notarized or need to be  although does not hurt to do it but like I said not common and does not make them any stronger to notarize them)you sign... your lender wires in the dough  seller signs returns their docs.. and next day or so when all docs are together it closes and you now own it subject to the loan.the title company will then send the Original signed note and copy of HUD etc to your lender.. you get copy of hud.. your the owner lender is the bank. simple done every day.on the West coast we DONT use attornies to close and we do NOT do wet closings I have not been to a closing basically in 25 years.. occasionally if I am around the title company I will go in and sign but NEVER is the buyer and SEller in the same room and NEVER are checks distrusted on the spot like they do back east.For one I would NOT accept a check from a closer attorney or other wise I ONLY accept wires as a seller ...

Read the instructions on how to fill out schedule E.

I seriously would have never gotten through it without the instruction (I passed first time I took it, as did probably 90% of my class).

@Jim RobertsonYou should look to see if you are required to file a Texas Franchise Tax ReturnThe instructions indicate that corporations are required to file the return. 

By Feb. 5th, Kevin instructed his new Attorney to Cancel the Contract and get the Deposit returned.

Some examples are: lease/lease addendum docs, deposit to hold form, Move-in instructions that a tenant gets when they receive their lease documents, a form for when we deny applicants, move out instructions, etc.

Its unreal how legitimate it all looks so verify wire instructions with your title company via phone (and make sure its the title company on the phone !) 

@Isaiah Oloyede  they can be a pain if the tenants dont follow instructions .  

Hi Lori,I am a few steps behind you - I have taken the courses, but haven't actually taken the RE exam yet.My instructor and others I have spoken to on this subject suggest Keller and Williams is the agency to start with. 

The instruction sheet will tell you which models can be interconnected, and you can often get that sheet as a PDF from the manufacturer's web site before you buy.I've also seen a suggestion to make sure that wired smoke alarms are powered from a circuit that also has a light on it that is used relatively often - like the light over the stairs, or the front porch light, or similar.
