I need to buy the lot cash or find some sort of loan that does not require insurance.

Umbrella insurance is always good to get - you'll sleep better.

We can not give you more advice outside of our area as our insurance does not cover them.

.- Being paid off and after all expenses, cashflow is $2,308/month.Here are Investment Returns after calculating rents; taxes; insurance; capex; maintenance etc.The columns are: Year 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 20, and Year 30. 

I also own all of my vehicles so I have no car payments and low insurance.

As for the rest, there are major differences between Net Operating Income and Net Annual Income (or annual Cash Flow – which I consider the real measure of an investment performance, how much money puts in my pocket on a regular basis) and Cash on Cash Return on Investment.Net Operating Income is calculated before debt.Net Operating Income = Gross_Annual_Rent – (Vacancy + Operating_Expenses)Where Operating Expenses = Taxes + Insurance + Monthly HOA x 12 + Monthly Management Fee x 12 + Repairs and Incidentals (Warranty, Utilities if any paid by owner and/or during vacancy, CapEx reserves, etc., don’t forget the CPA and Lawyer costs) Again Net Operating Income is calculated before debt - what matters more is the NET Annual Income (or annual cash flow): NET Annual Income = Net_Operating_Income - Mortgage_PaymentsAnd that leads to the Cash on Cash Return on Investment: C/C ROI = Annual Cash Flow / (Down Payment + Closing Costs)And I’m willing to bet you don’t get C/C ROI above 10% on any SFR in Austin area (based on these calculations and bought with conventional means, not subject-to or assumptions, or owner financing or other creative financing).

Net income for the house after property tax and insurance is $500 per month. 

Standard laminate is "fine", just like carpet is "fine". 

At our company we like our clients to be involved as much as they want to be with the expectation of trust in our expertise for certain operational factors.Also, if the turnkey company has well-established policies in place for leasing, resident on-boarding, standardization of renovation approach (replacing capex items first and foremost), and property management, then they could be a good option for investors.Also, look to see if they have warranties in place to cover the renovations they have completed on the property.

Once you have removed the doubt of a previous owner wanting to get their property back by saying the county didn't handle things to the letter of the law, then you can get title insurance protecting your 100% ownership then sell like any other property.If you have a lot of old owners or bigger problems the the quit claim deeds from the people you can find will help speed up a Quiet Title Action.
