Prop 19 is relatively new and there is not a lot of resources and guidance about it yet, so you may be having difficulty understanding your options. 

You could ask for a concession from seller in the form of $X to cover the cost of eviction and vacancy resulting from a non-paying tenant.I would not get them to start the eviction process unless you intend to wait to close until that's done (which could be a while).If the deal is solid and has good cash flow with market rents then buy the property and then undertake the eviction.

Texas is a relatively landlord friendly state and there are great markets that have both cash flow and appreciation.

I live in Columbia, SC and we are also seeing a lot of influx since prices are still relatively low here, plus there are a couple of big projects bringing thousands of jobs to the area in the next few years as well. 

I chose the latter and while it's gave me the ability to fund some of my marketing and cover other expenses I found it difficult to have a foot in the door of two completely separate, unrelated fields. 

Then margin wise are you covering the cost of commissions, taxes, etc.?

My bigger goal is to expand from there as a real estate investor to have all my expenses covered by my investments with more to spare.

The legislation that covers this is in CA Revenue and Taxation Code Section 63.1, to long to try to quote here.
