So I have 6 individual reports.

They’re so excited about the SDE or the margins or the multiple, they lose sight of the bigger picture.Business is personal.

I’m in the private lending space, so if you ever want to chat about financing options or need a second opinion on a deal, I’m happy to connect.

Glad you're building your business while still active duty, that's a powerful move! 

I have a call out to my accountant as well. :)

Also, why do you think so many people are advised to get an LLC when starting in RE investing? 

Never built in Houston before so take my feedback with a grain of salt but I'd put money on it being impossible to build a duplex from scratch for $125 a foot (including everything from drawings, engineering, permit fees, general conditions, labor, material, landscaping).Out here in AZ the builder cost is going to be $200 a foot at best, but add 20% on top of that for the client cost.

But to date, I've just set my rents at a rate that accounts for me having to pay the water bill - and informed the residents that each year I'll increase the rent based upon my expenses (including water), so keeping the bill down helps me to help them.But one problem this could cause is if increasing the rent to cover the water bill then places your rent above the market rate.

@Greg Scott we're still seeing many competitor ads that violate the new law:(Not sure how so many "professional" PMCs missed this!

My lease is up in October and hoping to utilize my VA loan so I don't have to renew my lease.
