I know in the area of PA where i invest, there are a lot of "Alley Ways" that belong to the town, and not the owners of the properties next to them, but they can be used by the property owners as a walk or a drive. a lot of times these areas are just grass, but it may just be listed in your title that you have the right and your neighbors to use it and you can not do anything on it. but also keep in mind that it may come into play if you ever decide to add on to the house, you may have to build to a setback from that easement line.

Keep in mind that there have not been many legal cases for emotional support animals. 

You'll meet other like minded people, potential even deal partners, and avoid the "sales pitchy" environment of some of the larger seminars.

Keep in mind that you are allowed to expense the first $5,000 of start-up costs only if your total start-up costs are $50,000 or less.

@Steve Vaughan  I may be wrong but I think lease options in TExas are illegal that over a certain period of time.although fine minds think alike..

If you want more peace of mind then there is no shortage of 1%+ markets out there!

But then we started running into problems with buying correctly and being introduced to other subs and GC's who did not have our best interest in mind but their own.

If you work with a skilled realtor he will guide you but keep in mind he does not want to be followed unless he can bring commission on the table.

It was considered an investment in my mind.

It will pay off in consistent income and in peace of mind.
