Basically this is a positive cash flow deal but just barely.

Unless of course the foreclosure is contested in court, in which case all hell can break lose.I know TX is a deed of trust state. 

Nothing worse than a bad review about a dirty house.Stock the kitchen with pots, pans, glasses etc and at least basic seasonings.I provide paper products (paper towels, T.P. ect) I also provide coffee pot, filters and coffee.As you start getting reviews your listing will show up closer to the top and that will help you get more bookings and reviews.

Any asset protection plan has to be tax neutral on its face to hold up in court and be seen as fraudulent.The federal death tax increased in 2000 from $675k per couple to $5,45M per couple.

Basically about negotiations . people have mixed thoughts on preforeclosures they will tell you being new to stay away.

There's "hardship" appeals, that would give you a rent rise to just over neutral cashflow, that may be the best you can do.http://www.state.nj.us/dca/divisions/codes/publica...EDIT: Did some googling and ran across this sh*tshow of a court decision.
