Hello,
Quick question. A potential tenant has told me she has not paid a pet deposit in the past due to it being a service animal. She has given me a registration number for the pet.
Should I attempt to collect a pet deposit or not worry about it?

Hello,
Has anyone came across an issue where there was foundation damage due to tenant neglecting to water the yard or failing to report a water leak / report developing cracks in the walls?
Can tenants be held responsible for foundation damage and all other damage associated with the issue?
Thank you,
Chris

Daljit, it would be a total home rehab. Multiple subcontractors would be involved.
Whoever you have would be greatly appreciated.

@Christopher Ward I would recommend Renovation Gurus if you are looking in South Fort Worth. Ask for Lorenzo Martinez. www.renovationgurus.com They even have a great tool that can show you how to estimate your renovation work fairly accurately. A terrific help.
You can also use Blake Johnson with Finishing Touches. He does a TON of work locally and you can see him on Flip/Flop Fort Worth from time to time. www.finishingtouchesremodeling.com
I feel comfortable recommending them both. Thanks!

Post: A question about Texas HELOC rules

I found a credit union (EECU) That does 80% heloc loans without appraisal and no closing costs. They go off the county tax appraisal number.
5 year draw period but the payments are interest only. Of course you can always pay down principal without prepayment penalties.

@Christopher Ward while the law did change for us it doesn't force a bank to make their loans higher. The bank still has the option of keeping their loan limit where it is. And the bigger the bank, the more restrictions they have on their loans. Try some small to mid-sized banks for better results with these products.
Thank you

Hello, quick question.
I was told the Texas HELOC loan amount will jump to 75% of your homes appraised value starting in 2018.
However I spoke with Wells Fargo yesterday and they're telling me it's still at 50%.
Is there any way to get a HELOC in Texas for greater than 50% of your homes value?
Thank you,
Chris
