If you are a person who has a full time job, or runs other companies, it is my professional opinion that you will be better served having the GC handle everything and report to you on your schedule.Once you decided to run the operation yourself, you are now employed by the development.

This also begins YOUR title seasoning, so that when you're ready to take out a traditional mortgage, you can refinance and pay off the seller without a title seasoning issue. you can buy title insurance from the title company at closing. this is a good idea. 

As others have said there are many experienced RE agents, management companies, and so on...Best of luck to you! 

I want to invest it wisely so that a part of it is used for my living expenses and the remainder invested in RE producing cash flow and appreciating over time.

Just google all the property management companies in your area.

It's even worse for landlords "The company is also asking for rate hikes of 38% for rental dwellings and 15% for tenants, with the rates taking effect May 1."

Apparently they take preferred interest in your company or have you sign a UCC cash flow agreement.

Utilize any hospitals and insurance companies that are willing to take your call.

My biggest road block right now is finding a PM company.

I am interested in meeting mortgage brokers, investors, and real-estate agents in the Austin area, as well as anyone who can connect my abilities as an engineer to a tech company in the area.I love learning new things, and not knowing how to do a thing has never stopped me from doing it.
