I am using 3rd party management (they use AppFolio); so, my needs are pretty basic and do not include any management, invoicing or payroll functionality...just basic accounting and reporting. 

My current full-time job prevents me from making many of these functions but Wednesday's are actually pretty flexible for me. 

(some insurance groups may not want your business....)develop the "feel"/6th sense to "smell" the possibly good/no trouble guysalso there may be similar posts here on BP, so please use the "Search BiggerPockets" function

Property prices are a function of demand and supply, which are influenced by many variables, most notably forecasted population and job growth.

Some people have told me that the value of a commercial classification is high, and it is very hard (almost impossible) to go from commercial to resi, but easy to go to resi from commercial.

Things like major changes to floor plan or expansion, structural issues, dealing with parking, updating major systems (HVAC/elec/plumbing) vs patching them if they are still functional and safe.

Complete and functional home.

(The house is 100% functional, everything is just 20 years old) I am looking to put new kitchens, renovate bathrooms, new flooring, new doors, paint the walls.THANK YOU

I don't believe, a hunch, that in Texas a non-attorney may conduct a foreclosure, (a RE Broker/Auctioneer may be able to, not sure there) and the Trustee under the Deed of Trust performs the functions required in the process, (or a licensed servicer) so as an individual note holder, you're spinning your wheels attempting to get payoffs. 

Buying the note is an investment function.
