Fort Worth is a hidden gem in my opinion.

The fear of making a wrong decision, buying a property with hidden issues, or missing out on a better opportunity can lead investors to second-guess themselves and delay making a decision.

I find refrigerators and stoves that have been dropped and crumpled the back hidden corners frequently.

How long do you think this contractor emergency call system will work if the contractor gets a call at 2am because the stove isn't working and the tenant needs an emergency pizza cooked :)Also, what if you've instructed the tenant to call this contractor for all emergencies and the contractor doesn't answer at 2am.

We instruct our tenants to request ACH transfer every 1st of the month from their account to our property's account. 

Yes, there are great e-books out there on how to do this, and the instructions for team-building make sense, but there's a lot of dead bodies out there. 

That means you might uncover a hidden gem or a really great investment opportunity.

Were your instructions to evict in writing?

You should have them read the instructions to Sch E if they are unsure (it explains exactly how to)

Then instruct your lawyer to go to where the funds are held and chain them self to a desk until they cut you a check.Since obviously you know your contract better then anyone else in that state there is a whole profession that should just be removed and turned into carrier pigeons for their clients.
