I am considering buying a lot in the Hill Country (west of Austin like Spicewood or Dripping Springs) and putting a metal building atop of it as a commercial property. 

Anyone have any experience doing this? Good, bad or indifferent? What did the build costs and timeline look like? Any recommended metal building builders? 

Hey @Bruce Petersen -- who are the good multifamily brokers in Austin/SA? Any recs? 

Question for those of you out there who have solar panels --- presumably, if you financed your solar panels, the solar company put a lien on your home too -- soooo what happens if you were to quit paying the solar mortgage? 

Can the solar company force a disposition of your home (or rental)? Can they prevent the solar panels from functioning? 

@Karen Schimpf -- what is typical difference in interest rates between non-recourse and standard loans for same amonunt? 

@Kris Wong -- why would it be removed? 

Here's a question for you -- anyone out there start a financing company for home-improvement projects?

For example, a company that would offer siding contractors the ability to finance siding projects with a lien on the house as security for the loan.

Any and all suggestions for reading and research would be appreciated. 

Hi there -- I am looking at a few projects ranging from small commercial to multifamily -- wondering who to speak to in the Austin, Texas area about non-recourse financing for such projects. 

Hi there --- anyone in Austin, TX have recommendations for accounting services that have a deep understanding in real estate? 

Thanks in advance. 

Thanks @Aaron K. -- appreciate the clarification. 

What size properties should I start with?

This is probably a rookie question -- but is it legally possible to create negative cashflow on paper just with mortgage interest rate deduction and depreciation? 

For example, my NOI is $90k, my mortgage interest is $48k and my depreciation is $52k --- could I show a loss of $10k annually?
