Does anyone know how to get in touch with Brad to start the program and mentoring without attending the initial 2-day seminar? I missed the July seminar a couple weeks ago and I don't want to wait until November for the next one. His website doesn't provide any direct contact info as far as I can tell. Thanks so much. 

I can put you in touch with Brad. Send your phone number to email in my profile or on my signature.

 Old Capital is awesome ... but I might be a little bias!

Assuming market rate multifamily (5+ units), you're looking at 17% down for hud.

 What's your point, and when did this become a thread about Texas? 

Yes, RUBS is not illegal in Texas. It's still highly unprofessional slumlord tactics. Properly and professionally managed property in Texas has meters for every unit.

Again, I'll point out meters are well under $100 each. More like under $50 each. There is NO EXCUSE for not installing them! They will always pay for themselves in cost savings - for both the tenant and the landlord!

Can you make some recommendations on how you'd handle retrofitting sub-meters on older, larger properties with central boilers?  Are meters for hot water lines more expensive than for cold lines?  Wait, are you saying I'll need two per unit?  The water company also charges me for sewage.  How much are those meters?  That's three meters each ... would you add them, why or why not?  What's the price difference between the manual ones and those fancy broadcasting ones?  Do you have to bust a hole in the wall or dig holes everywhere - how much does that cost?  What would you estimate the additional labor hours to be annually for reading, processing, etc?  I'm sure I missed something.  Can you base you answers on a 300 unit property built in the 1960s?

@April Zarling Would you be interested new construction?  A friend is building 4-plexes (on demand) in Collin County.  I think he has 5 left.  You could reach your 2016 goals in one swoop, and achieve some economies of scale in the process.

Happy to lend on deals in Austin.  Too pricey for my personal investment model.

Thanks for the shoutout @Cassie Sherie.  I have a property management company in mind given info provided.  They manage 9000 doors, ship product in from overseas, do some of their own rehab work and sub-out the rest @Jesse Chunn.  I'll PM you.
