Courtney,A lot of these issues you're asking are legal in nature so I think it is worth talking to a real estate attorney licensed in your state.

@Russell Brazil the key to that whole state is REAL investors... not the endless amount of tire kickers you undoubtedly encounter.So the natural question to me is, how to sort through all the tire kickers?

I don’t think that data would do you any good for Dallas, back then it was an oil/energy town.

Naturally there are a few additional rules about how these accounts work.

Personally, I prefer to let attrition naturally do it's job and reno the units one at a time rather than forcing out paying tenants.

The more you practice, the faster you'll get a hang of it and it'll become your second nature. 

I am currently looking at a property that does not have natural gas offered so everything would have to be electric.

It is called nature and it exists everywhere. 

Wholesaling is pretty exhilarating as it is and it seems to come naturally. 

It sounds like you're wife is skeptical which is natural for most people.
