@Rob Blumenstein I hear your pain about finding the right Architect / Builder team.

In a climatic health resort area deep in the Bavarian Forest, where the air is clean, there is plenty of nature and real estate is affordable. 

I'm learning a lot of painful and expensive lessons.

Sizable sponsors with decades long track record still have to slog it out to raise money (albeit with less pain than others). 

Indy is affordable, is landlord friendly and has a diverse job market (FedEx, Eli Lilly, Indiana University Health are 3 major employers and there is starting to be a small tech presence).

It's a pain to match , probably have to go to Pueblo.

So, you need to be prepared.Potential expenses to consider:Food, shelter, taxes, income taxes, fees, insurance, health insurance, medical emergencies, family, auto payments, auto insurance, utilities, cell phone, Internet, clothes, and pet care (if you have one).

Previously, I let one LLC own 2 properties and share the bank account but it was a pain keeping track of which expense was for which property.

You are in a world of tax pain doing that.
