Hi Erin,

I feel your pain. It was quite the process for us. We ordered one list from Collin County some time ago. Ordering from the county wasn't that hard, but we received the data in a .DAT format. So we then hired a programmer on UpWork and had him extract the data into an Excel sheet. I think there were 4 different files and they all "communicate" with each other. Once we had the data in Excel, we had to clean up the sheet.  I think we ultimately paid about $100 to the programmer.  Just wish they would send the info in Excel.  But then again, if it were easy, everyone would have access to the information, right? :)

My suggestion is that you put a request in on UpWork and find a programmer to decipher the data and create a "script" to where all they have to do in future updates is to throw the .DAT files into the script and it does it's magic.  Hope this helps you out.  Good Luck!!

Hey everyone,

I am looking to find out the process in acquiring the tax delinquent lists for the following counties in Texas: Dallas, Tarrant, Collin & Denton. Would anyone be willing to share their knowledge in this area? Namely, can I obtain these lists online or do I need to retrieve in person? What are the fee's? Does anyone know the tax foreclosure timelines? Meaning, from the time they are delinquent to the date they are auctioned off. Any information you can provide will greatly help in our research. Thanks a ton in advance for your expertise and help.

@Casity Kao Great to know. Thanks again Casity. :)

@Casity Kao, thank you for taking the time to respond in great detail relating to my post. It was very helpful. I see that there are some HML that will, like you said, focus more on the asset than the credit score. I just spoke with a HML and she confirmed a lot of what you said. But at the same time, because of my credit, we could potentially pay little bit more in interest. So I'm thinking that I am going to leave myself out of the LLC for now. And once my credit improves, we can always add me in.

@Tarik Turner, thanks for your response. I agree, it seems as though I will be find having me in the LLC, but like I mentioned above, we're going to just leave me out of the company for now. We'll end up saving a little bit in interest rate.

Thanks again for your suggestions.

My girlfriend and I are about to form an LLC together for our flipping business. And although I have done several deals and rehabs pre-2008 (so it's been a while. lol), my credit is not that great right now. However, my girlfriends credit is phenomenal.

I have never had to use a hard money lender in the past, but we will be using them coming up very soon. My question to all those that are familiar with hard money lending requirements is, will we have a problem securing hard money loans (assuming the deal is a great deal) for our rehabs given that my credit is not great and that I am a partner in the LLC? Or should I not be an owner in the LLC?

We spoke to one hard money lender a couple months ago and he said that I should not add myself as an owner in the LLC because of my credit. Again, my girlfriend (the other partner in the LLC) has phenomenal credit.

And if you know of any hard money lenders that will work with our situation, please let me know their contact info.

Lastly, I do want to say that we have cash to put into our deals. So if there is a gap in our financing, we can cover this along with any contingencies that usually arise during rehabs. 

Any guidance in this area will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hey Investors,

We are looking for an attorney referral (and one that you have either used or someone close has used) so that we not only have someone to look over our contracts, but heaven forbid we need local legal council.  As the subject line states, we are looking for someone in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Yes, we can go through the arduous process of looking up attorneys online, but we all know referrals can sometimes produce the best results. :)  Thanks for your help.
