Also have language explicitly stating that they are responsible for any service charges associated with the tank running empty.

So they've been pseudo operating the association as if it was a part of their business.

However, since I am new to this I'm looking for a hard money lender that's not associated with one of houstons large corporations.

Good schools and good neighborhoods are key and I get great rent for them plus they are basically care free properties because the association does virtually everything for me.

New Mexico Tiny House Association, which is currently online-only on Meetup and Facebook, but very active online.

My biggest concern is that the premium price that it will cost and the associated financing doesn't leave much room for decreased rents or high vacancy.

If possible, I would recommend making friends with the property manager who manages the condo association and see if you can get some of their contractor contacts.

Sign a contract with the seller stating you or an associate will buy the property for the negotiated amount within a given amount of time. 5.

Between the two, that is an instant ROI for your contributed dollars that is not insignificant, and probably better than the actual ROI produced by most real estate investments.The investment options and management fees associated with most company 401k plans are a negative.  

For other investment type we can decide value based on income, here no income associated.
