@Linda Weygant thanks for the shout out in the middle of crazy time for you!  

I live on the east side of Pearland but I have heard a lot of backlash from those who live near the landfill.  

Alright, I've lived in Detroit for 8 years (18-27), 2 year break in the middle I moved out for work)I lived in the suburbs from0-18 and if you want to inbox me I will answer some questions.

While Memphis is home, I've lived in both middle TN and in the smokeys.  

I tend to buy Single Families North of the river, and multi families in East Independence.

From my understanding regardless of how you structure it legally the owner is responsible, so if the roof or more needs replacement the end tenant doesn't have to pay and what owner would put themselves in this expensive role of landlord if they aren't going to expect to receive all the benefits rather than splitting them with a middle man investor? 

But, I'm afraid its the infrastructure that will line the pockets of the swamp in crowd before the infrastructure that actually needs it...like dams and bridges.When you reduce taxes for the wealthy and businesses when you are in as much debt as our country is...you don't have to worry about the poor suffering...you worry about the disappearance of the middle class ENTIRELY.

Knowing what I know now since purchasing the California multi-unit back in 1988 and paid my share of sweat equity rehabbing and managing it from the East Coast with a workable system, I'm excited to expand and roll-up my sleeves to leverage our equity to buy vacation rental properties in Orlando, Florida for PA snowbirds and retirees and properties in the Philadelphia/Montco/Del-Chester regions.    

Greetings LA Biggerpockets Community,I am currently beginning my real estate investing journey on the East Coast, and have plans to move out west to LA in August.

I'm in the middle of closing on a multi-family in West Orange that ended up having a tank.
