It allows you to peak behind the curtain and see lots of great analytics and other fine details.  

In addition to any tax benefit on the mortgage interest and depreciation.From another perspective, we may be near the peak of the cycle so selling for $315,000 may be the best move for you right now.

Currently where I am, values exceed $1 millon.I started investing in real estate in 1983, There's been one major correction, values peaked in 1986, bottomed out in 1993, and went back to where they were in 1999.

We also like to travel and plan to rent out the main house during peak demand times and do some travelling in a camper.My question is related to how to set up some legal protection.  

We have been presented with the opportunity to purchase a successful rental business comprised of 4 rental cabins, and the property has held an average of 37% occupancy for the year, with occupancy closer to 65% during our peak season of May-November.

For example, I did both, bought 1980s SFR, tile roofs, stucco exterior, 3-4 BR/3 BA, nice B- class stuff, good cash flow, foreclosures for ~$100k ... put ~$10k in remodel/repairs, ARV around $150k in 2010, at the peak those same houses were going for $400k, and today they are up to maybe $250k ... this gives you some idea of the dynamics... those that bought at peak got hammered, those like me that bought towards the bottom did well, buying today you may do ok if you score a great deal, but probably not paying retail for turnkey.

However, I have a few things for you to look at that might peak your interest in the TX market.
