I always strife to be a better individual and being successful to be able to take care of my mother and little brother who i have never seen before, both residing in Ghana.

Utah County has a median resident age of 24 who love that Provo has Google Fiber.There's a lot more, but that's my top ten.

I learned this because Texas is a non-disclosure state, and I noticed at some point the price I paid for my personal residence appeared on Zillow. 

I am also seeking his or her advice on what would make my property more attractive to those buyers.I want to remain loyal, however, to my real estate agent with whom I have done business with for many years in purchasing my current and former primary residences and one investment property.How do I open a dialogue to seek the advice I seek with an agent in my area so that ultimately there is a mutual benefit in working with him or her while maintaining my business relationship with my longstanding agent with whom I will eventually use as the listing agent for my current property?

Almost all require a residence change.  

You're lucky the property is not in worse condition and the guy is honest enough to admit his trangressions...so at least you have a tenant with a conscience.I'll just use one example to make my case....Daughter and her daughter are now residents who are not on the lease. 

Should I invest it in mutual funds or should I invested in buy-and-hold single-family residence?

We have to buy something in decent shape (in order to get a loan) and there is heavy competition for these residences.

in short, mortgage broker states having me apply for loan as investment property on affidavit of occupancy, but i plan on residing there, will increase my chances of obtaining loan.
