Hello All,I am a License Loan Originator in Houston, TX and I am coming across situations where I have clients that are distressed sellers.

If a client sent me two seemingly similar appraisal it could have seemed to be a duplicate.

Do you bill the client (me), or do you allow for rollover if you continue to be engaged for the service until consummation?

Out of state investing does have some unique challenges but in my opinion, the two biggest are knowing the neighborhoods well and good property management.

The BP calculator does not know unique location dynamics, supply and demand, redevelopment, gentrification, demographic patterns, job and population growth or lack of, schools, crime...you get the picture.

Ryan Murdock has a interesting idea.An old church AirBnB would be pretty unique.

As a Certified Financial Planner™ the first thing we need to address when speaking with a client is mitigating their risk and the use of living trusts is one way in which we can do so, especially when it comes to real estate.I do not want to get into too many details here but there are many different types of trusts used for a number of different purposes.

Client is given a 90 day trustee sale notice. 

I have 3 rental listings right now ( a client's, not mine) 1/1 for $1100 each. 2 in a building in a good location in little Havana.

Unfortunately, the other is what it is and is set up that way  protect you as well as your future clients.
