Once we found out seller was providing the design, we decided it would be a good time to try and get it under contract.

@Nupur DarukaThe majority of these closing costs will need to be depreciated - there are a couple that you can deduct immediately in the tax year you purchased the propertyYes, provided the funds from HELCO were used to fund rental...

Should I provide a kitchen when renting rooms?

Now, for comps:  the only way to get comps here is to be a realtor (which they pay for access), or an appraiser (and they pay for access as well), or to pay for access through one of the servicing companies that provide this. 

They will likely require you to provide them with updated documents and proof of ownership, but other than that I remember it being pretty straightforward.

I find myself in need of a loan or lender who can provide a 25/30-year amortization with a fixed rate for the entire term or maybe with only a 1relock rate.

If you're in the hospitality business you'll provide guests with an amazing experience and know how to make your property stand out.

Fast forward to this past summer, started having some issues and was wondering if anyone else works with them and can provide some oversight 1) prop mgmt agent - we switched to a new agent and we have been having issues (addressing us by the wrong name/gender/etc, spelling errors in emails, long response times, one word responses to issues that were outstanding for a while, not contacting the right person despite us requesting several times, etc.) 2) issues with communications regarding finding a new tenant - we were notified in October '23 that our tenants were not renewing and we requested that our unit be shown prior to vacancy in January '24.

They can provide insights specific to the Dallas market and help you make informed decisions based on your unique situation.
