I'd love to have some lakefront property there but want to supplement the mortgage with some rental income.

On the other hand, I have bought numerous properties from absentee owners that paid cash for their investment property here.

I have a number of rental properties in Texas. 

Looking to learn about rental properties and how to manage them?

I own several SFH rentals in Kansas City and am a Broker/Realtor and own a property management company. 

Subdividing seems like the best route because you open up the potential buyer pool if you ever need to offload the properties or even a few of them.   

Hi BP,  I know a property owner that wants to sell a property. 

What is the best option for a landlord policy for someone who owns multiple rental properties(AZ and CA) and has no primary home or an auto? 

I have a property in county.

Written by attorney investors, it's full of practical advice about the management of investment property, has sample forms that can be edited, and - most importantly - tells you what your primary state laws are and where you can read them.
