Key point is WITH a SECURED border to stop the flood of 100k-300k monthly illegls. 

Texas tends to favor landlords in these cases, but follow the legal process exactly—any misstep could delay things.As for protecting against retaliation or property damage, installing security cameras (if you haven’t already) to monitor common areas might be worth it.

The location that is best for BRRRR?  

I believe the code says "if a veteran holds legal title to a property secured by a VA loan but does not possess equitable title, this situation is considered 'not a disposition."

I just had tenants move out of my investment property (duplex) without paying for the last month's rent, and the damage they inflicted onto the property exceeds their security deposit amount.

@Kaleb JohnsonRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

One location and 4 rents How could you go wrong 

Where is it located?

Location, location, location.  

IN these cases they took title sub to from the sellers .. ( but in the case your describing its the same thing you have a senior note as most investors will want security) they then sold on contract to buyers with small down payments and credit challenged or income challenged and they did about 30 of these in a year or so.. worked hard at it..
