Your parcel would be known as the dominant tenement - meaning it benefits from an easement across another parcel - this is a national standard that most municipalities abide by, simply because it's common sense, but people (and cities) do things for reasons not logic.  

Welcome to BP Nation, Debbie :)Feel free to reach out!

Thanks BP Nation. 

I wonder now whether he's competent / intellectual enough for the ultimate goal I want to achieve - building a national, multi-million dollar real estate investment firm that has investor & agent partnerships all over the world.

There are THOUSANDS of cities across the nation with sites like this.  

Either from national HMLs, local HMLs in your area or in Florida?

 #2 Low unemployment - Texas is at around 4.6% vs. 5.4% national unemployment rateSan Antonio - ridiculously low 3.8%, Houston - 4.4%#3 Good population growth - good jobs and low cost of living is attracting a lot of folks to move to Texas#4 Therefore low vacancy rates in Texas.Cons:#1 Relatively high real estate taxes especially compared to California#2 Some areas have higher insurance like in Houston (remember Katrina?)

Should I reactivate it with a national real estate company?

I don't know if this is a  national organization but that is the type of organization you should look for - generally they will be non profit.
