Many of them have had multiple cell phones disconnected.

People who use those shortcuts already know how to analyze a property from top to bottom, and use those shortcuts as a quick tool to decide whether they should continue to analyze or just move onto another deal.It's not that hard to mathematize (i made that word up) a few units, or any small multi-unit building, and there are even spreadsheets with cells built in to help you add your required profit, to pad or trend expenses, and to stress numbers up or down in future years.Again, in my own opinion, if you're going to spend money on a few units you might as well know how to analyze those units and make an informed decision.

I assume that you have a general business knowledge, being familiar with partnerships and business entities, going this route, in Texas, you could use a Series LLC and admit members doing projects and do your lending through the Operating Agreement with title to any RE being in the LLC assigned to that member under their "series cell", going this route is not lending per se under banking or lending requirements and your RE attorney can probably accomplish this with fewer complications than getting into the finance arena.

Even a homeless bum could go to Walmart, buy a cell phone, go to the library and post a free ad on CL, and now he's a "contractor".I've made it a point not to pay anybody a dime until the job is done.

When we built the second building we included a small office and I now man it 10 hours per week and keep the phone forwarded to my cell the rest of the time.

There’s more, but I’m on my cell. 

I view eviction nightmares like I view getting cancer.

also for phone numbers try white pages.com - they charge for a subscription (which I make no money off of just giving advice)call every number they give you multiple times if you really want to reach someone, call family members too until you get someone - always ask for their CELL PHONE number so you know you can call them again to follow up

I would not want the cmu cells to fill up with water and freeze. 

Hit me up via PM on here if we don't already have cell #s.
