There are other towns with much less city intervention and will have much higher chances of collecting higher rents. 

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

I inquired about the possibility of a two-company structure: A traditional LLC that is the public face of the activities (collecting rents, paying contractors, etc.) and managing the Series LLC with each property in once cell in it (in this case, Series LLC is serving as a holding role).Again, one attorney said that would be much better than a standalone LLC and that is recommended approach, and the other said it is waste of time and money since there are some requirements from Texas Real Estate Commission, which is requiring being a licensed broker in the state to operate in the managing LLC.So, just want to hear what other Texas investors are doing when it comes to series LLCs regarding these issues.

I have been deliberately managing it as a rental (ie, contract, collecting rent, etc.). 

There is a significant difference between being awarded a judgement and actually collecting any money.   

Property Management Dashboard: Allows me to summarize delinquencies, notable expenses, upcoming lease expirations and rent bumps and send a monthly email automatically to the property manager for a status update.Everything I've found is either focused on the property management and rent collection or on managing investors.

If you do take on new debt or collections during this time, the lender will see and it will require that it be accounted for in your DTI (unless this is a DSCR loan).
