I'm newer to the Houston area and plan on starting to invest again in the near future.

Best of luck, we look forward to reading your future posts!  

And will pocket 100 a month, which I plan on using for future deals.

Such as moving to smaller home for less rent, selling your car and buying a cheaper one, cutting out extras in your budget such as take out and eating out, etc...If you can make sacrifices now by redicinf uoir bdieht ane/or increasing your Income you will be able to prosper in the near future with real estate.

Just a question as an observer and someone who is interested in short term rental properties in the future.

As a potential/ future landlord, be prepared for things like maintenance/ repairs and vacancy.

I don't want to miss a detail going through all of these properties that could be essential to future real estate deals.Best Regards, Brian Tran

You will need to have a 1065 partnership return filed for the new LLC but this will help account for the 'tax savings' etc. for future use.

How should I handle this situation, while wanting to continue working with this potential future buyer?

Maybe later when the kids are older, but definitely not now.The commercial comment was just mentioning a future goal.
