I blame the politicians that create rules that allow this.   

What is the benefit of this shared LLC?

Any reputable contractor has material accounts everywhere and doesn't expect to be paid for labor S/he hasn't yet performed. 

This allowed me to focus mostly on cash flowing properties, then the area, then tax as an add on.

Buying this as a second home... any further advice? 

Now that Trump won the election, I wanted to get a discussion going about what potential impact this could have on towns along the Rio Grande Valley like McAllen, and Brownsville, Texas.The population growth in these towns has been great over the years making it a worthwhile investment.

But if a tenant defaults they have a right for due process to contest the eviction.We see people try and do this with having a borrower on seller finance sign the deed back over to the lender and if they miss a payment the lender can record the deed back into their name.

here is the situation. i left a really good paying job to take care of my 81 year old parents because my dad is chronically ill and my mom is almost there. i wont go into too much detail, but my sis doesnt help them. ill leave it at that. we have a person who comes twice a week to help with cleaning and other household tasks. i carry the bulk of the weight cooking their meals, running errands, grocery shopping, picking up meds, and taking them to dr appointments. its a full time job. i get a small salary of $1000 a month from a care giver sub contractor for the VA. ive been paying my bills with what savings ive had, but only have a few months of funds left. i own a duplex. i have over 200k in equity. i live in texas and texas has weird laws about refi and heloc/heloans when the property is 4 units or less and owner occupied. i would rather not sell, but if thats my only option i will have to at some point.does anyone have any advice or possibly be able to point me to lenders who might be able to work with my situation?

Or do I need a specific software to obtain this info? 

I'm wondering where a good place to start to create this new lease, any help would be greatly appreciated!
