It taught me a lot about the industry and how to handle agents moving forward.

Due diligence is done before they move in. 

This way I can finally move out and get out of my parents hair, we’re all sick of me living there still.

This would allow you to eventually plan strategically to move into the new house and convert your current primary into an investment property... to then 1031 into your next project(s). 

I'm not sure what you would be "defending in court" if you've known about this issue since last year and have neglected to address it.2) Get the rental license in place BEFORE you move in a tenant is the biggest takeaway here.

If that tenant confirms what happened with the police coming etc, then I would explain to them that the lease contains clauses prohibiting disturbing other tenants and neighbors etc.

Still calling around to see if I can find a realtor to go ahead and become the POC - take calls / relay - while I perform the move ins/outs, etc.Again - thanks everyone for your comments!

"Texas is one of the few states that allows parties to recover attorneys’ fees even if the contract itself does not contain an attorneys’ fees provision."

That is your opinion and it's obviously the way you have run your appraisal company...and for years, I can tell, even though you didn't fill out your profile.I'd like to see you fill out your profile so that other reading this thread, not necessarily for those commenting in this thread, but for the public to get a better picture of what you are saying and where you are coming from.BP is a social networking site, while it does contain some very good discussions and has some very good information, especially mine (lol), it is not the University of Real Estate where experience and knowledge is the basis for any qualification.

I can move a tenant in easy.
