Ultimately, when I'm repping a buyer, I always recommend the buyer checks with the zoning when any zoning issues come up. 

Often don't have to be licensed, but ask.If you are serious about all this, recommend getting your RE license AND pursuing NARPM courses.

@Andrae S Wiggins recommend you upgrade your BP membership to Pro to access the BP Calculators to evaluate rental purchases.Play with the numbers to figure out the purchase price that gives you your target ROI.That's the number you'll need to make an offer at, NOT what the seller is asking.Yes, you will get a lot of rejects, but whoever said investing was easy?

Id recommend connecting with someone who can help you shop more investment-specific/rental programs on a national scale.

I like to always recommend that you choose an agent who is also an investor maybe a few years ahead of where you want to be.

I don't know if they will ever start construction and if they do how long will my money be locked with them.At this point, I would recommend to stay away from them until they can show some results with new constructions.In the meantime, I had invested in another syndication in the same time frame in the same Texas market.

I manage properties with both - but I recommend pots (although at home I use Keurig). 

I recommend you send notice earlier than required and by multiple avenues to verify receipt.

Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?
