I am very interested in DFW and Austin market, as I see they have the potential to become the next Silicon Valley.My current job requires tremendous commitment and therefore would prefer to have a very passive investment even if it means lower ROI.

This all helps tremendously. 

Not a real estate book, but his story and lifestyle are tremendously inspiring.

The fact is it provides tremendous value and was free so I don't think it's unfair for a company to charge a small fee for probably tens of millions of dollars worth of development resources.As investors, we have to just roll with the punches and this is one of them.

I have bias because I used to work as an underwriter for this lender but they do a tremendous job, the company is Fund That Flip.After working for Fund That Flip I went full-time as an investor and I currently use them to finance my flips.

There are a lot of ways to get started here, especially because we have a tremendous amount of interest from out of state investors here in San Antonio.

I also gained a tremendous amount of experience through managing the construction of the mother in law from start to finish.

But let's run with it....My bet is even using your number...it would be tremendously cheaper. 

Rent by the room models have seen some draw back and if the current hesitancy trends endure, having an alternate strategy for weathering this or any other future economic storm could help tremendously.   

My advice would be to pay no one and read read read read through these forums and ask questions and post and then read some more and ask more questions.There is tremendous value here that is free and this is coming from an investor that has multiple units and manages it all myself.
