There are spots where you can spend the money effectively near South Florida.Also, are you saying you have 100k cash as a downpayment or your buy-in, with a mortgage, is 100k?

Now with the virus people want the fed to go to Effectively Zero In Rates, (boy the banks will love that!!!)

I also watch Earnyourleisure as well and some folks believe the effort on a lower deal can be put on a higher cost deal and be more effective.

If tenants were effected and couldn't pay rent as a result of contracting coronavirus no evictions.

Add in the services of a transaction coordinator (~$400) to help with paperwork and IMO it's the most effective use of your money with the least amount of work. 

When it is, it comes out as either salary (taxed at your marginal rates) or are dividends (read: double taxation).Have a CPA run an effective tax rate projection for the three entity types and discuss the long-term pros and cons of each (including exit strategy).

The Recorders office collects various fees and how the fees effect landlords as we do multiply transactions.

And as soon as you do, the tenant is off the hook.And hopefully you never want/need to sell the place while that lease is in effect because not many buyers are going to want to inherit that lease. 

The second point of even higher interest to myself because while everywhere will feel the effects of the current pandemic, oil price and company performance is especially correlated to Houston's economy. 

Absentee Owners have been popular for a long time, and are apparently still somewhat effective (people are still mailing to them) but they are getting multiple offers to buy their home.
