Hello Texas Investors,I am in the process of converting my primary residence to a rental and I have been advised by multiple sources about the security devices requirement in Texas' property code: Sec 92.153 in this linkMy house has an enclosed patio/sunroom conversion with laminate flooring, a ceiling fan and is on the same HVAC system as the rest of the house.

If there is a lease, you have to honor those terms until expiration - so you would not be able to raise the rent until that time. 

The most important thing is to have a CPA that specializes in real estate. 2nd most important thing is to have them local as CA has a completely different tax code than other states. 

You may have to do some renovations to have it up to code, such as windows, doors for private entrance, parking spots etc.
