We actually just had several go in on Livingston ave on the west side where I'd not normally think would be desirable, but they look great and really brought the block up.So I'm a huge fan personally from seeing them go up in my own area.  

It started with really buying my own personal home, then selling and making a small profit.

If it was me personally, I would not.

I can also find out everything about this person's license in less than 10 minutes.

With respect to paying $44k off on your HELOC, I personally think that is totally fine and a great start. 

I personally invest in the North Dallas area (Prosper/Celina) where there is lots of growth in homes with nice lots.

I know i personally wont build anything with adjoining walls as the long term liability is to much risk for me.

I know my personal tax accountant isn't knowledgeable enough for property investment write-offs.

There is a big difference in how those are handled  HAHA I just saw a post and commented where the person wanted to ask if they should overpay for a home because they can get is seller financing.

And does the person doing the labor get paid or only the materials paid for by the partnership?
