Further, 5 years of life is plenty of life left in that roof.When Im selling properties, I never negotiate a roof (except flat roofs in the city which are not visible when looking at the property), because anyone can see it, and the relative age of them should be obvious to most people.

They have always paid on time and been responsive with the exception of December and January.

I have made CLEAR with PM I do not want to renew under ANY circumstance (Aug '20), and am willing to allow his stay to continue month to month after lease expiration and if he wants to leave knowing there is no renewal coming, I'll gladly accept that.

Be sure to stick a name tag on everybody, no exceptions.

That's all wholesaling is as it's taught in these programs, it's brokering real estate except instead of being up front & telling the distressed seller that you'll sell their property for X amount & take X amount as your commission / fee you are taught to lie to the seller & pretend you are going to buy the property while you secretly attempt to "assign" your contract.It doesn't work.

I do not have a general contractor yet so I am not quite sure how much to expect as far as the remodel work goes as there are some significant changes I am making, adding sq. ft moving kitchen, bathrooms, exterior walls, removing interior walls, new roof plan etc. in addition to the usual new texture, flooring, paint job etc.Unless the preliminary plan is done, there is no way general contractors can bid on it but at the same time this being my first rodeo I have no clue how much to expect in this circumstances.

He had personal troubles, but never bothered any tenant or us except for late payments.  

Send me a PM if you want to know my one possible suggestion and why I'm still hesitant about them, another you could use if you make sure to stay on top of maintenance requests and rent yourself and a third to absolutely, under no circumstances use! 

They should go through the potential with their tax professionals because it's very much based on specific circumstance. 

Am confused because according to the Texas property code section 52.006 Except as provided in subsection(b) a judgement lien continues for 10 years following date of recording, ECEPT if judgement becomes dormant during that period, the lien ceases to exist.It has already been 11 years since judgement was rendered, it has not been renewed.
