They are both government agencies that can take action.

Hi everyone, I'm a new in this community and living in Houston, after reading few books about REI, now i would like to take action with my first property.

Starting with the right group will reduce unnecessary friction and get you to your personal goalsWell done on taking action in what is your business.

Find a good agent, figure out a plan, and take some action.

Podcasts and MillionAcre articles (via Motley Fool) will only get me so far, and if I've heard one mantra over and over, it's to just DO IT, letting mistakes 'fail me forward', as nobody's first house story is ever perfect (in hindsight), but is absolutely essential for turning a vague idea into actual action

Most likely the state where the property is located is where lawsuits would be brought if they are something for personal injury like a trip and fall or something of that nature because the “cause of action” arose in that state.

Whats going on Osman,Your monthly marketing budget is the deciding factor here.If you have a minimal marketing budget then you are in what I like to call the HUSTLE stage.This will include you substituting what you don't have in capital with hustle and hunger.You do this by:Cold calling, Driving for Dollars, Self made bandit signs, Hand written letters, etc.The key is to take action and give this business ALL you've got.Best of luck!

I was thinking one course of action is to sell off these townhomes and buy quadplex properties through a 1031 exchange.I’m not sure if this is the best course of action and I’m sure there are other options. 

That little trick has kept me from two legal actions that I know of.  

Rptr. 333.This action will reset the time period and you will need to start all over again with a correct three-day notice.
