If the home is stripped to the studs, and I personally do the work, wearing a P99 full face respirator along with full body disposable suit... the place is aired out, I give the chemicals time/heat to volatilize...

I'm a bodyworker (Rolf method of structural Integration), a fairly obscure method of healing the human body, but I love it and it is what brought me to Utah. 

 I am wondering if any body has advice on preforclosures in the state of Texas thinking of trying to wholesale or are preforclosures risky business for wholesaling?

To me a wholesaler should work distressed sellers if any body.  

REI is great, but hopefully there's someone left to care for our ailing bodies:)

As well as creating ways to preserve the minds of humans to live on past our bodies. 

I'm willing to sacrifice my time, body, friends, and sadly, family as I work to save up for my first purchase.

In my area you dont have to be a GC to buold your personal home.Find a local bank to work with on construction loan (I would suggest you get a account for that bank and donuts always help) Get a list of your area governing body on what is needed to be submitted for approval.

You are putting a deposit down for the appropriate governing body to foreclose on the property for delinquent property taxes.

That newer asphalt, or when it is resealed or newly striped, looks pretty sharp (but then you have some costs and maintenance), but I am not sure the attractive lot would bring much more in rent nor would gravel drive off good tenants.Finally, I shovel snow with the body sled type shovels and it would knock me out without a smooth surface underneath like asphalt or cement, so with gravel maybe check how that would work with your snow removal system (be it shovel, snowblower, or plow truck)...probably gravel best fit for plow truck...Best of luck
