@Anthony Liguori  The places you mentioned are merely marketplaces (with some tools to help due diligence) where buyers and sellers of properties can connect. 

If the landlord wants to hire a property manager to operate the property, he certainly can do so but for underwriting purposes it wouldn't be applicable to determine the value since a majority of investors buying single tenant absolute net leases will elect to self manage since they a merely collecting a NNN lease check and depositing it into their business account.

Pennsylvania, Wolf (currently on appeal to the US Sup Ct - Justice Alito ordered the State of Pennsylvania to file their brief by 12:00 Noon ET today - Incidentally Devito may have National implications regarding efficacy of Governors denying Constitutional rights during the pandemic).In some jurisdictions, like CA there is excellent authority favoring policyholders.

I am not condoning this approach, merely stating what i have heard in the past.

As a side note, it sounds like you're worried about a mere hours difference in the timing of the notice (8pm on May 1st vs 11:59pm on April 30th). 

Even though it is still pending so not fully enacted yet, I have experienced first hand what the mere existence of this bill does to aid a borrower facing non-judicial foreclosure. 

I am not advocating for or against this kind of behavior, merely pointing it out.Texas is a little more conservative with property rights of the owner.

Of course landlords do not want to use that as an excuse to provide unsafe housing, it is merely for liability protection.

And at this point I'm banking on appreciation, which I do have high hopes for the neighborhood, but is merely speculation.Am I missing something, should I be approaching this differently? 

I figure in 7 years I merely made 180K from value appreciation on the rental in my example broken down earlier...Sure appreciation is realllllllly nice.
