Thank you @Julie Gates for your detailed response and transparency, super grateful 🙏 Wishing you continued success! 

Be transparent.

A few other LLC "maintenance issues" to think about are: (i) state filings, (ii) corporate transparency act filings, (iii) organizational documents (e.g., a Series LLC should make sure it has the appropriate articles for each Series) and (iv) taxes. 

A short cut for this is the mobilization payment and I think many GC's would be reluctant to disclose their materials costs with complete transparency.

Other bidders were more detailed and transparent but still $$$.

They are slow to makes funds available for new accounts, but are very transparent about the timing.

It's one of the non-transparent gentrification+migration in history due high COL.For young people and business, it's no longer make sense to live independently in CA even to pursue career so TX gives better choice.

Properties can’t be continuously valued so you have a really hard time providing transparency and avoiding insider trading.

Pros:Potential for Bargains: Auctions can offer properties at lower prices than traditional listings.Speed: The auction process is usually quicker than traditional sales, with a defined timeline for closing.Transparency: The bidding process is transparent, and you can see competing bids in real-time.Cons:As-Is Condition: Properties are often sold "as-is," meaning no repairs or warranties.Limited Inspection: There may be limited opportunities to inspect the property before bidding.Financing Challenges: Securing financing for auction properties can be more challenging and may require quick approval.Auction Fees: Be aware of any additional fees, such as a buyer's premium, that could affect the total cost.I hope this helps you out!

(My transparent advice) The biggest question is, WHY would you want to entertain an offer from one of these companies?
