Shout out to permit professionals like Roy Hasson (just a friend in LA specializing in navigating permit process - this is not a business play we do not work together), who are dedicated to helping others and will likely develop similar resources to support their communities through the rebuilding process.If you’re working on rebuilding efforts or have questions, feel free to connect with me—I’d love to collaborate.

This is a lesson learned for me - I know to look for "missing" rooms for this now but I do feel that there was responsibility on your part as well.

If you’re just getting started in real estate, feel free to reach out – I’ve been coaching a new investor in the Houston market for a while and am happy to help you however I can.

If he doesn't need the cash now, you could also negotiate a split you're comfortable with to get him the return you and he feel he should have at the point you refi when the balloon payment comes due. 

Use the lookup with my name and self storage and zoning.1.  

Feel free to reach out for any specific questions!

In theory they've tried all they can and are stuck on stupid feeling there life is about to be burnt to the ground. 

Anything past that might feel weird.Good job going to your first one, that is a great step that too many people miss out on.

And I wouldn't expect them to, it's a self inflicted thing.

So don't feel bad, happens to us and not really for our fault :)
