For instance, while applying Texas-based legislation, the state's strong preference for ADR processes like mediation and arbitration is an important factor to take into account.

I was trying to figure out how to scale my rental business when a friend of mine who had several rentals told me of his program to pay down his highest interest rate loan, with cash flow and adding other money and then applying that free-and-clear cash flow to paying off the next loan and having 2 free and clear props.

However, from discussions with banks on about similar topics, I would say yes it is possible.My understanding is that you both would have to use the property as your primary residence, and you both would have to apply together on the loan application.  

 I am applying for a DSCR loan and am now a renter myself.

We are thinking very long term, so in order to cover bases regarding potential deaths, wanting to pull out, or being unable to afford the investment it seemed like the best way to go.Really looking for some general advice is there is any, we feel we've googled and researched everything that will apply, but are there anymore pieces to be aware of? 

If you don't have sponsorship, by definition you don't have a deal - full stop. in some aspects, but but I'd argue in development you have to find land and partners at the same time. you have to have a competitive advantage and local knowledge. may not apply and probably different sectors. we break development up into multiple raises like Series A, Series B, etc in venture debt and discount equity tranches based on what stage the investor comes in for higher returns it's earlier like when we are investing in engineering services etc we recapitalize and spend our money with an equity sale and recapitalization. structured finance is so interesting 

My question is, does the 6 month wait time on mortgaging it still apply since an appraisal wasn’t done when I purchased it?

Homestead Exemptions If this is your primary residence, then apply for the homestead property tax exemption and any other exemptions that you qualify for.

I have a deal that I think subject to could be applied to, but I’ve never done one and would like to find an attorney to assist me with the closing of this deal. 

ATR rules do NOT apply to investment properties so products like DSCR loans and often hard money loans do not look at the borrowers income.
