But I didn't care because of write off's and appreciation.

They can write whatever they want, it doesn’t mean the law will uphold that if it violates laws.

There is no trick, think of it this way: you have a principal to pay off ($175k, so you could do 175 months x $1,000) and as long as you do the outstanding balance generates interest.Your mortgage payment is PITI, you always have TI, principal you pay in your own pocket and interest is a tax write-off.But from a cash flow point of view paying one off first is better, because you save both the principal and interest portion, which comes out to about $1050.

Some would argue that Texas doesn't have state income tax but who cares because you get all the write offs anyways.

construction loans are very convenient to use that are hard money style . is it going to be a stick built just smaller in size or an actual cabin ? 

If you do install any Cadet heaters though, for the love of god please pair them with the manual knob-style thermostats - the Cadet electronic programmable thermostats are maybe the single worst product I've purchased in my renovating life, and were replaced almost immediately after installing them.Doors and Trim. 

I had a tenant complain and actually write me a letter stating that there "wasn't enough room by the door to her apartment to place her shoes".

If you decide to switch it over into the  LLC I would ask let the lender if they say it's ok, get it in writing that they won't call the note due (if the loan is in your personal name).The thread Nicholas sent you is really informative.

I hate having to write all this but I feel bad for all the people who have given Ryan and Tyler money they don’t have to spend after listening to his high-pressure and very unrealistic sales pitch about making easy millions.

I would contact the HOA immediately, in writing.
