I think your plan with the belongings is good.

Florida is down almost 15% and Texas is following the same path.I bring this up because at a recent meetup some investorswere telling me they are willing to pay full price to beat the competition.That's an insanely bad move right now unless you're willing to come out of pocket to cover expenses to try to keep those houses afloat.Stop speculation for the love of the real estate gods STOP.The only time you lose money in a real estate crash is when you sell in bad timing...BUT you must remember that deals are only deals depending on how they were BOUGHT, not how they were SOLD.Heck, even in Denver the smartest investors I know are buying at even deeper discounts because they know DOM are going to be longer than expected.Get better at sales, get better at marketing, don't be romantic on any one market and we will survive. 

Filter opportunities through intention.Not every deal belongs in your portfolio.

If a lender wants to enforce a Due On Sale, a Land Trust violates the DOS anyway so it is ineffective in stopping the Due On Sale call.Line 35 is always negotiable, but the seller needs enough to rent an apartment and move their belongs or they will become squatters which causes serious problems.

Normally, you pay less since personal belongings are no longer covered. 

Property management has taught me a lot about operations and cash flow, but now I’m shifting gears to learn and take my first swing at flipping and wholesaling full time.I came out to Birmingham in September and met some incredible people in the flipping community, enough to know this is where I want to be long term.

You need to approach the conversation as an equal and put off the energy that you belong at that table or in that conversation.

In Texas, it’s not legally required to separate it, but it’s smart — that money technically belongs to the tenant until move-out, and keeping it separate prevents accidental spending.For software, since it’s just one property, you don’t need anything fancy like Buildium or AppFolio.
