That Houston value-add sounds like a solid win.If you’re exploring U.S. markets, you’ll find a lot of strong plays—some interesting activity in the Southeast and Midwest right now.

Do you see urban areas like Austin losing their appeal or is there still enough draw from tech jobs and lifestyle to keep that market strong?

I strongly disagree with some of these politicians overly-simplified and flat out uninformed statements during the debates that federal lands "aren't being used" and should be used for housing.

However, if you are buying multiple properties to keep in your rental portfolio, I strongly suggest that each property have it's own LLC. 

Please let me know if all of this is unnecessary or a valid strategy for building strong business credit.

You'll also find some clients that like to juice the commission on performance metrics, similar to what you posted, but that is also relatively rare as most owners feel if they're paying you north of $300,000, you should just try to get top dollar with strong terms.

So, while the news sounds grim, Florida's real estate is still strong—especially in high-demand areas like vacation spots.Let’s keep adapting, and I’m confident things will level out.

You also have to have a strong financial foundation!

Even a small claims court option might help you recover some damages later on.It’s definitely a tough situation, but focusing on getting a clear bid for the remaining work and being upfront with your lender could provide the best path forward.Wishing you the best with this—stay strong!

This does not mean your investment is insured.We often hear comments like, "We invested with XYZ because their fund / syndication is FDIC insured," (nope no its not...).To avoid these kinds of mistakes, I strongly recommend you always have an attorney review the Private Placement Memorandum (PPM) with you.
