Every informative post by an escrow officer or Realtor or LO or accountant on this discussion form is in part being helpful, and in part lead gen.

Hell, most of the 'team' I worked with - broker, GC, loan officer, etc. - I have literally never met in person.

The property was being sold through an agent and was purchased by a wholesaler out of probate.When I did my due diligence, the zoning office informed me the property was zoned SFR and had no license to be a duplex.  

Check with local PD office to confirm the details...they will tell you exactly what's law. 

I also had the former known Owner served "Notice" by the County Sheriff's department in which the Owner lives in, I received an Affidavit from that Sheriff's office showing "served & signed for by defendant".

Best to call during business hours and hope to get someone in the Texas office.

On top of that, there is a decentralization of office space as well meaning that workers are no longer required to work and live in the same place for the most part.  

I estimate that an eviction costs me more than $5K with all expenses and lost revenue. 

You can also go to your local county clerk's office and search for properties that have defaulted on their payments and are up for foreclosure.
