Thanks @Tom Ott and @Jay Hinrichs for your prompt responses.As I mentioned, this is a well-vetted and popular company that all of you know very well.  

I like tile best for long term buy and hold rentals...durable and better in a beach town...if I was planning on selling in a year or so I would go with laminate that looks like wood planks as that is very popular here...

I recently started thinking about using rental properties to supplement my income and eventually lead to something I could do full time.I recently moved to the Fort Worth area and while doing research I found an article that said Fort Worth and Dallas were 2 of the top 10 markets for REI.

@Terry Hughes...After all the discussions of the downturn in the oil market, and other real estate articles about increased vacancies in the commercial space (multifamily and office) in Houston, are you seeing an uptick in foreclosures in that market in other areas? 

Thank you, for voting for this article.

If you do it yourself make sure that you look up the Nebraska LLC Act in order to make sure that you have everything the articles of organization or certificate of formation require (different states have different names for an LLC filing). 

There are some excellent posts/articles on house hacking and buy and hold strategies. 

After reading a few articles, mostly here on Bigger Pockets, as well as watching the videos it seems like an easy system to use which worries me that I am over looking something.

At least not yet.I have a friendly competitor who lives in a very upscale MHC in a very popular coastal community.
