If the property is included in a Trust,, and you were the trustee (executor) of the trust and the trust was set up as in it's design to have the property be as part of a rental business then as long as it's generating income you can justify keeping the property,, If their are other beneficiaries and the property isn't generating income they could basically demand the property be sold so they wouldn't lose any more money.. 

I am purchasing a property that is projected to generate gross rents of $3,000 per month.

I always generate them myself.

Obviously you will pay more for the house that generates more rent.

We're looking to networks with other investors as well as generate leads for flips.

I’m a native Texian (6 generations) lived here my entire life with stops in northeast Texas the southeast and now central Texas in the Austin area.

Your input as an actual appraiser will be great to have & you've got an opportunity to generate goodwill towards yourself as a result.

@Jose Guevarra I would see what kind of commercial RE he specializes in (strip malls, industrial, medical office buildings, multi-family, etc) and how he generates leads.

I thought I'd share this report I just generated.  

Pre startup expenses are typically amortized once you have a revenue generating asset.
