You don't need an attorney. Just go on the secretary of state website and you can make it at a fraction of the price 


I know forming the LLC part is easy but we want a well thought out operating agreement. not something boilerplate

Quote from @Ronald Rohde:

What type of real estate? We do Operating Agreements focusing on multi-member, asset protection for commercial real estate. 


Ah okay. This would be for residential but if there could be an OA that would inclusive for both, I’d be interested in that as well

I'm looking for a real estate attorney that practices in TX. Looking to partner with someone and want to get help with forming an LLC and drafting a solid operating agreement. Much appreciated

@Jim K. Now I’m curious if you have other opinions about floodlights for small multifamily beyond what you already mentioned

Taylor, I'm convinced that digital camera systems have the capacity to redraw C/D-class property maps and pick a property out of C- territory and drop it into C-class. Cameras change the game, pure and simple, especially cameras with digital recording, night vision, web upload capabilities, motion detection spotlights. People with criminal intentions absolutely hate them, people who have no such intentions are indifferent to them. Street crime disappears in and near properties that have cameras. The police appreciate landlords who put these systems in and spare a few cameras to watch up and down streets from private property, as long as the landlords make the recordings available to them when asked.

For a duplex, $400 will buy you an 8-camera wired system that will make criminals hate and fear even coming up an down your street. It's really a beautiful thing.

Now, for a single-family that you're renting out, you don't have a common space to install the recorder or take electricity from. You also don't have access to an internet connection you're paying for. That makes it difficult to set up and maintain a system. Floodlights are great, sure, but they're not in the same league as cameras.

That definitely makes sense. And I just read your bio. Reads like you do some writing in your spare time. I assume your opinion on cameras is from personal experience. Any specific systems you recommend? And anything you use at your primary residence?

LOL, yes, it's all from personal experience. Nobody's paying me to sell anything here or anywhere else. Thanks for the sideways compliment on my writing, I used to teach English before I realized I could make a lot more money swinging a hammer and chasing rent.

I use Night Owl's most basic DVR systems, including at my primary. 

 After re-reading what I wrote, I see how my comment could've come across lol. I should've separated my first 3 sentences from my 2nd three sentences. It was definitely meant to be a straightforward compliment, and I see I wasn't too off on my assessment lol

And thanks for the rec. I'll look into that. May have more questions for you after I do

@Max T. This’ll be owner occupied for now. May pass off later. Any specific brand you use/like?

What brand/type of floodlights do you use for your SFHs and why that type?

I’m looking for lights that are energy efficient, so maybe motion sensor and that aren’t an eyesore
