You owe it to your tenants to maintain the properties they live in, and this could mean making expensive repairs at a moments notice.

I have been studying the industry for a long time and feel that I can be successful here, although I do feel that perhaps I should move back to the larger market of Dallas, TX where I am originally from.

Years of studying the markets have convinced me that now is the time!

I was born and raised in Venice, Italy, where I studied finance and accounting, while working in a small family winery.

I will be out there this summer and have more time to study the market.

Elderly owners mean they can't care for properties and moderate income folks have difficulty in maintaining properties.

I got into construction business after I graduated because I felt more comfortable there than going into the real estate business even though that is what I studied the most.  

Being that you are not in a community property state you will be required to maintain a profit and loss, balance sheet and prepare a 1065 US Partnership tax return.

Hi Shirley , Welcome and congrats on your  decision .You will need to study and most importantly work hard and take action on what you do  learn, dont wait for all the lights to be green and dont be afraid to make mistakes.

The neighbor who let me in said that the park maintains the trees.
