Similarly, the median time to lease for spaces smaller than 10,000square feet in Dallas-Fort Worth is 3 1/2 months, down from the median time tolease of five months recorded 10 years earlier.

I believe I've got enough work to hire a couple of people full time year round. 

I would refer back to your owner agreement and hold their feet to the fire. 

I'm only going to clear enough to build the townhouses and allow for parking in the front and small back yard maybe 60 feet. 

@Christina Galdieri I agree with the comments on the window treatment replacement and the floor to be tiled (looks like a small bath of probably 50 or so square feet of floor tile, so shouldn't be too expensive to make it look semi-custom).

Hi @Brandon Jenseni think your best bet while you "get back on your feet" is to have someone else in your partnership be the guarantor for the loan. when it comes to fix and flip lending, your LLC will take title to the property.

Barely a rounding error in all of this.Obviously, not everyone is comfortable with that kind of leverage, and you're right that someone making 70k a year just doing it once for an extra 12k on their tax return it may not make as much sense for. 

I am Boston based and would like to get my feet wet.

I know, I know... heads feet legs toes child octopus.

Go for it, get your feet wet!
