Hi Seth, welcome to the community! 

If you know and follow the law, especially when it comes to PM, there is very little to worry about.

However, if the deal is average, waiting to house hack could provide a better foundation for your portfolio.

If you do a proper foreclosure and notify all parties a tax foreclosure can clear up an otherwise scrambled title. 

Hi Everyone,I'm not new here, but I am transitioning from full-time work to full-time investor, so I'm looking to make connection in the San Antonio area, and across all hot US rental markets. 

I inquired about the possibility of a two-company structure: A traditional LLC that is the public face of the activities (collecting rents, paying contractors, etc.) and managing the Series LLC with each property in once cell in it (in this case, Series LLC is serving as a holding role).Again, one attorney said that would be much better than a standalone LLC and that is recommended approach, and the other said it is waste of time and money since there are some requirements from Texas Real Estate Commission, which is requiring being a licensed broker in the state to operate in the managing LLC.So, just want to hear what other Texas investors are doing when it comes to series LLCs regarding these issues. 

My goal is to continue to acquire more cash flowing rentals to eventually leave my day job and just self manage the rental properties.
