Can get very costly and become time consuming - easy to get in over your head.

Most of the builder in those rural area dont like to build near austin for the same reason as they say "whatever takes us 6 month here it will take us more than a year there, because of the permits and inspections are time consuming near austin" I am hiring a builde, who is  basically  is subcontracting each stage. we are using my finance loan (Interim loan). in this case we might calling him GC. we call them a builder here, and they are definitely not GC for rehab projects those are different, they only build costume and specs homes and commercials. 

Two years later I can't wait to finish the one project I currently have with them so I can bid them farewell forever!

That would consume over half of my cash flow.

Occasionally they break and you can patch them, but at the end of the day there is an average life expectancy of a system.Structures on the other hand.....they could potentially last forever if well maintained or if you use the right products.  

I know it's a time consuming process but it's all I have to work with as of now and gives me a good estimate.Looking forward to seeing other's responses!

Lead free cert is forever.

Entering in all of the pro forma data for every multifamily property would take forever, so I am going to implement the 50% rule in order to weed out the good from the bad.  

Hello all,Firstly I would like to say thank you for all of the insight that I have consumed over the last few months while I considered taking the plunge into this incredible field.

Now I do not have large number of rentals and this can be time consuming.
