I am currently in the process of identifying land for a purpose-built residential assisted living and memory care facility in Houston, TX.

It is just a reality how many PMs have no idea how to process claims and have close to 0 systems to protect assets for business owners. 

We haven’t really felt the effects of it yet but I think that is mainly due to the timeframe it takes for them to process claims and emotions from the devastation.

They couldn't get a construction loan and were constantly blaming the cities being tough on their permit process.

Any insights would be greatly appreciated as I navigate this process. 

Everything you describe though is just the normal process of how taxes are reassessed when a property is sold.  

Alot of unknowns as you don't have the ability to walk the property beforehand, but interesting process, and pretty good deals exist there.While the Trustee Sales are cash purchases, there are many hard money options that can turn over the funds in time for the 24 hour funding required to complete the purchase.If you are interested, let me know and I can go into more detail, as well as make some other suggestions for you to consider. 

Mortgage recasting, also known as re-amortization, is a process that allows homeowners to lower their monthly mortgage payments by applying a lump sum toward their principal balance.

If your goal is financial independence, then selecting an investment city is a straightforward process due to the income requirements for financial independence.

Ultimately buying real estate without down payment funds is far trickier of a process.
