A ring of keys jingling at the door, fresh paint drying in an empty unit and a tenant waving from the porch.
Short answer: Buy Wholesale In Texas: the key filing in Texas is the Sales and Use Tax Permit. Suppliers will ask for its number and a Texas Sales and Use Tax Resale Certificate (Form 01-339) before they sell to you tax-free.
Texas calls its seller's permit the Sales and Use Tax Permit. To buy for resale without paying sales tax, you give the supplier a Texas Sales and Use Tax Resale Certificate (Form 01-339). Texas expects sellers of taxable items, including wholesalers, to hold a permit, and resale certificates require the buyer's Texas taxpayer number. In Texas a customer's permit number alone is not a substitute for a signed resale certificate. Rental property owners provide a service rather than reselling goods, so repair supplies and appliances for the units are normally taxable when bought, though some purchases may qualify for exemptions.
Tip: Keep a separate bank account for each property or the whole portfolio, because mixing rent with groceries makes April feel like a heist movie.
