That's when I became a landlord…by accident.  

This was a huge oversight because I have funded everything with cash on hand and could have suffered a total loss of my investment if something catastrophic would have occurred I am about to close on another and will be buying this policy from here on out.

Really take a look at the action of events  that occurred and ask yourself how you could have handled things better.People respond in the heat of the moment and the mouth moves faster than the brain thinks on what was said.

I'm about an hour away from you, FYI.If you have a lease rather than a rental agreement, it should be honored and a move out should not occur.  

I feel silly even having to ask this question, but how exactly does a "cash offer" transaction occur on a home/lot?  

If this occurs with each rental it will start to reduce your ability to qualify or you will just have to earn more income in other areas to make up for the rentals dragging you down.Beyond income issues of buying rentals prior to the primary, there are no issues as long as you qualify you'll be fine.

I'm guessing with your corporate background this will occur within 5 years of part timing.

As far as disclosure goes, do you put in the wholesale contract or have a separate contract all together with you disclosing you're a licensed RE agent but acting as an investor, this way its shown that you've disclosed this to the seller and no recourse can occur? 

Since the DCAD shows it as a SFR, my concern is that a renovation occurred at some point without appropriate permits. 

I feel l that I can rent to anyone whom has a fairly clean record, but it seems like there are fewer and fewer qualified applicants who see my rentals, when a vacany occurs; Starke also seems to have very bold aggressive  individuals whom have a problem with being told there are minimum qualifications in which they may not qualify.
