It seems you're leagues ahead of me here.

Cities in that general area:  Friendswood, League City, Dickinson, and La Marque. 

You're getting into the big league and there is serious money on the table, so I suggest eating some humble pie (telling the owner you'll help him) and getting professional advice specifically for that project.    

It's got a good Civic League but the schools are not great.The Naval Hospital is not 5 minutes from that house.  

They just days ago acquired some top league talent, Omid Ashtari , as VP of Strategy & Operations, so things are definitely looking up for this startup (and it's customers!)

Hard money is best if you're an experienced, big league investor.  

You need to figure that the debt added to your balance sheet for an MBA will be between $30K+ from an online school to at least $60K+ from a traditional school (non-Ivy League), which is in addition to the cost of the undergraduate degree.

You are leagues ahead of many of us with that knowledge base under you and your experiences. 

They see the potential profits or monthly cash flow potential from your analytical report, see that you've done your homework and might be ready for the big leagues, even if its not that expensive of a property, they know its the knowledge and education is what you need to make it profits, not really the capital or job right?
