I spent a decade in advertising, before founding and running a custom wood shop for another decade, so 'm pretty good at the self-promotion.I agree with you that the more gorilla approach would be most effective and that's actually what i've been doing – calling RE agents in my service area with active listings, introducing myself to property managers and leasing agents...To answer your question, I will have to handle the work myself for 6-12 months to build out the SOPs and field service management systems, but I have a lot of relationships for those looking to "do the work".I'll check out the meet up and would love to grab a cup of coffee, I'll shoot you an email.

This area definitely gives you good weather year round, summertime gets hot so as long as you're getting systems serviced before then and then in the fall you're usually ok. 

All your properties may be perfect but if you are transparent about why something is not in service, it makes sense, and they agree it works just fine for long-term rentals.

I have no debt aside from the properties and regular monthly credit card debt.

If you are trying to come up with a way to finagle the occupancy requirements while using an amazing loan (that you earned based on your service) like a VA, I would say you are starting off on the wrong foot.

Sunnyvale in Bay Area for example, places a owner occupied deed restriction when approving JADU permit (not for regular ADU though).“ Owner Occupancy Required/Deed Restriction (JADU Only): The property owner must live in either the JADU or the primary dwelling.

You' just make negative comments in hopes of someone using YOUR services.

Hi @Augusta OwensFirst off thank you for your service! 

Any business could do this with their services and the savings would certainly justify the additional effort.But if you take advantage of the new law, wouldn't the renter do the same?

In fact, there may be other home service opportunities with quicker growth potential worth considering.Additionally, be aware that in Texas you’ll need a broker’s license, not just a real estate license, to operate a property management business.
