So luckily I had a friend looking for a two bedroom house so she's renting it and I waved their deposit so they even cleaned the entire house out of all the junk left behind by the lady I had to evict.

Linda,Thought you mentioned that if we Perfected the instrument it would be a legal deduction I have everything clean it has just not been recorded, but the warranty deed has been notorized.

New to Texas and need to know what kind of bond for a small construction and cleaning business, need bond agent in area, pref South Austin- Thanks!

What are my legal obligations in terms of sending him notice on not getting his deposit back either as place was not cleaned, major carpet damage done, damage done to trim, trash left etc....?

If this means cleaning a unit to get it ready to rent or cold calling for potential deals that is more than fine with me.

for selling/flipping I'd leave the trees,  But for buy and hold trees on the property can be future maintenance, like gutter cleaning, or damage like trees falling on house.

I have rarely even cleaned any of the houses I have sold to investors.

LolAccount ClosedIf I can "come clean" and be totally honest, I am the previous generation of OOS investor myself...

In particular is where to check for a clean title or title search without paying $$ to do a title search?

@Gail, yes, i have documentation(pics) of all the repainting, cleaning and small repairs that need to be done.
