When my friend, the builder, sent over the contract, I noticed in the contact a $10,000 developer fee to be drawn up to $2,000 per month during the construction period.

I am just seeking a CPA in Houston that is just starting out and is looking to develop long term relationships.

These are generally developed in "4 plex neighborhoods". 

By developing relationships with other investors who are doing the types of deals that I want to do, I get visibility of the opportunities.

Maintenance- If you are going to be a buy and hold investor or fix and flip, you will need to develop the skills and resources to make this statement untrue.  

I will find properties that I want to develop myself.

In order to do that, I'm seeking a investment mentor who can help me to increase my knowledge, who can help me to develop techniques and strategies, who can share me their experience on wholesale, flipping houses, on landlord, on residential and commercial properties, holding, etc.

So I meet them and develop a relationship then present my offer and explain why it's so low.
