You could opt to buy a newer property (less maintenance), put more down (enhancing cash-flow), etc. 

You're very smart, intuitive and exercise common sense which is important when investing.

They can be exercised through the county official where the land is located.

Our current portfolio includes performing mortgage notes, lease options yet to be exercised, fix and flips, and buy and holds.Our next step in this process, we feel, is to get into the commercial game.We have kicked around the idea of creating a path to purchase a few Class A commercial real estate buildings.What are the risks?

Rental Registration at cor.net On August 12, 2013, the Richardson City Council adopted a number of enhancements to the Rental Registration Program to create efficiencies for property owners and tenants including: • Interior inspections are no longer mandatory but are highly recommended to ensure the property adheres to regulations designed to protect the safety and welfare of the tenants.

Unfortunately, you will lose control of the type of property in exchange for enhanced motivation to sell.You can hire a VA or use a call answering service, or just accept the fact you need a good voicemail and get back ASAP.That said, that won't really help you target MFH.

I did also come close to an investment purchase back in 2008 in Virginia, under contract on a foreclosed single family 4-bedroom (I intended to live in one bedroom and rent out the rest to roommates) in northern VA, but at the time I realized I was getting in over my head and decided to hold off (and had a penalty free loophole in the contract I was able to exercise).

I'm not implying I would be that partner, but rather this would be an exercise to position yourself in "the space" where you would want to be.

This solves 3 issues, 1) with specific instructions by both parties to the atty trustee, both you and she will be covered regarding going around you, and for her default.2)  this also resolves the issue of what happens when you exercise your option in 9 months and need her to sign the deed.  

I hope to meet new people and learn as much as I can for as long as I can while doing my part to enhance the REI community.
