@Ryenell Simon I'm a newbie so I haven't gotten that far yet 😊 But to my knowledge you can pull up one of your local title companies online and register with them for an account.

I've also thought about reaching out to one of these major portfolio lenders and putting everything on more fixed long-term debt to increase my cash flow, but I like the idea of paying everything off in 15 years. 

Also, next economic downturn and you can expect some very serious, very major changes in the TX higher education landscape.

And, get a home warranty for the first year so you don't have a major capital expenditure before you get your feet under you.

This will essentially tell you what happens to your return in the even of a fluctuation of a major parameter, often the occupancy rate and the achieved rent.

Municipalities will Not be common buyers for vacant land....not sure how you came to that conclusion.The vast majority of vacant land you can buy this way will have No value to a builder.....there is a reason people so often let these properties go to tax auction and it would be very difficult for you to determines the paths of growth and what would be desirable to a builder/developer.

Some major pitfall that I'm not understanding? 

But the best way to get this as high as possible is to at least update something in all the major components of the house

It seems the vast majority of information online is geared towards the investor.

I have about 70 units coming online in the next month and wanted to know if anyone has sent out mailers/postcards to surrounding/similar complexes to try and get some of their tenants.
