Lastly, I would imagine that with all of the small business ownership involved, there's probably a local bank that already has a UCC filed and is unlikely to play ball with a private lender who's trying to realize their collateral.

If your PM didn't drop the ball and did mail out an estimated disposition, you need to discuss the security deposit return process.

You really got the ball rolling after that first property! 

I can’t seem to find that first golden goose property. 

With smaller contractors that do multiple trades, I've learned over my career there's a golden question and it has changed how I screen subs, vendors, and workers.

Does anyone have recommendations for a great general contactor with a strong track record in the Beaumont/Golden triangle area? 

It’s 4bd 3.5ba nice neighborhood and planning to cover inground pool and add pickle ball court.

We have them, and also additional fire protections such as a fire ball and a fire blanket. 

If you don't want to do that and you want to play hard ball with the developer then come up with a price for them to buy it from you; and make it a good high price.

If This were happening in California it would be a whole different ball game.....
