@Ashton Baker  Santa Rosa County is brimming with recreational opportunities, historical locations, and sights. 

As I have researched what terms other people do (looking in these forums) and as I have talked to some other investors, I have seen a wide array of terms everyone likes to do on the private money notes.

Consider both types of appreciation/depreciation:Market-based, either from changing CAP rates (commercial) or market-wide value changes (residential)Market rent, meaning the rate of change in market-wide rent levelsNot interested in arguing the actual numbers - that's where the more information and familiarity you have for an area, the more successful you'll be at investing. 

If it's a smaller multifamily property where rents haven't been maximized, then that percentage will be higher and can vary widely from deal to deal.

That said, I've had similarly wide ranges of bids on projects before.

The lease is honored by the Court systems in MN and is widely used. 

I wouldn't go so far as to say it's done, but as an agent myself, I've cast an extremely wide net on my search and I have to be more creative in my searches.

So all I ask/say is please go in with eyes wide open.While my holdings in Raleigh and greater Raleigh are ~$2M less and 1/3 what they were 3 years ago, it is still a great place for most REI.

Texas is one of the states that does not impose an income tax.However, the IRS and States tax residents on world-wide income.As a California resident you would include the income/loss earned from your rental property in Texas.Furthermore, if you operate as a separate entity(LLC Corp etc) you may be subject to Texas' franchise tax.More information of the Franchise tax can be found on the website belowhttps://comptroller.texas.gov/taxes/franchiseWhat area of Texas are you looking at?
