A good place to meet a good number of investors in Tucson is at the local REIA group that meets in Tucson every month.

Do I still qualify for the standard deduction? 

We've got a great PM engaged at this time, but I'm always up for meeting a new one.  

Finally, I was a president of my 5 unit townhouse/condo in roger park, and it was very interesting in how we had to raise our HOA fees in order to meet capital expenditures...it seemed like when our toilets crashed or went away to toilet heaven, all of the others did too.  

I am glad to be working for myself vs the big therapy companies who say they are all about patient care, yet require 90-97.5% productivity from us and expect us to provide quality patient care off the clock to achieve productivity standards. 

But what if they DO all meet the requirements?

Greetings,I am a new member and new to Texas looking to meet others in the Fort Worth area to connect with and learn from.

Go to local meetings, contractors go to them (at least some I know do) or get friendly with investors and then ask them who they use.

Get a standard landlord policy from your existing insurance company for a house.

It's not a bad idea to flip a house that you don't live in, while you continue to rent.Another option would be to use "house hacking" - buy the house with a standard or FHA mortgage, live there while you make improvements, and sell ASAP after completion.
