There’s a 12 step program for debtors that can help enormously sort this stuff out and deal with the issues that got you into the mess you’re in in the first place.

5.Any major issues with the building?

@Brian GriggsWith an IRA inherited from a spouse, this may or may not be an issue. 

Thanks Cassi, I suspect that will me my issue too, finding management companies.

I'm not saying it's impossible, we just had a similar situation with a client and we were able to get him under contract, your agent will definitely need to know how to maneuver this issue and find ways to make your offer more enticing, whether is by waving contingencies, offer a higher down payment, etc, not saying these are the best ideas, but just some ideas to ponder. 

Lessons have been learned, hence this post, so going forward my operation will be run strictly like a business, which should help mitigate some of the issues I've been encountering.

I try to arrange a special speaker each month to talk for a while on local issues, government, code enforcement, realtors, legal, accounting, etc.

Now, here's my chicken and the egg issue that I'm getting stuck on.  

Unless there's something very odd going on in Texas, subletting is unlikely to be the issue, so the lease half of the deal is fine.

Either way, you should have tenants sign new leases before you close, eliminating any contract issues.
