Water/sewer service in my area can be liened by the jurisdiction for non-payment, so I still pay that myself, but take the past 12 months' average, knock off a small bit and add it into their lease on top of regular rent. 

Hi Jerry--If what you mean is--Are there fully amortized (non balloon) as-is Rental Property loans that have longer than a 3 year fixed period?

However, fast forward 9 months after non payments, and us filing Motions to Dismiss and Relief, we finally received a prorated lump sum towards their arrearages along with their past regular mortgage post petition P&I, as they miraculously came up with a huge payment to save them from being dismissed. 

If you are going to do Houston, you would probably want it somewhere near the 'medical center' which is close the stadium and downtown. 

Many lines in the water (especially if you're searching for off market and non-MLS properties and deals) is a great idea!

If he was only 9 months into the ch 13 then he likely didn't complete the 13 plan and decided to flip to ch 7 to discharge credit card bills, medical bills, etc. 

Of course trash service did eventually come to pick it up a few days later but meanwhile some neighbor complained about trash being out on a non-trash day so they issued a citation to the building owner (me).  

Rental income and interest from loans made by the IRA to others are fully tax sheltered.If debt-financing such as a mortgage is used, the debt must be non-recourse and the use of debt does create a small tax liability on the portion of the income attributed to the non-IRA (borrowed) money. 

Rent will be guaranteed thorough Non- profit organization.

I like having a mix of Turnkey and non turnkey
