You do not need to overthink the partnership question at this point beyond coming to an agreement with each other.

This will keep it affordable for you but will always have high rental demand. 

I have gotten title insurance in situations like this.

recently heard that this area has a community developed, called Pradera Oaks (CR51/CANNON RD, Bonney, TX 77583), developed by Wan Bridge, advertised as affordable and has a big rent market and has the potential to appreciation.

I know a few places that do this but they are short term and are costly but it can be done.

Is there a way that sellers should validate this information?

Right now my head is swimming with all this new content, but I'm optimistic that things will eventually slow down.

Instruct the tenant to call 911, not you, when they believe this is happening. 

Class A would be all good/great categories in this regard and Class D would refer to the worst/bad properties in those neighborhoods.  

Hi Kelly, this is a great place to learn and to connect with people so take advantage of all the great resources.Welcome aboard and best of luck investing!
