It's state law here in MA and it's also the right thing to do.If you don't and a child ends up with actual brain damage because they were munching on a lead-painted windowsill when they were teething, you'll not only have to pay an unspeakable amount in damages, you'll have to live with the knowledge that you had a hand in screwing up their entire life.

This, along with it's proximity to Austin obviously, has given property values in Buda real teeth in holding value in downturns.

Also, are there any other developer requirements like curb and gutter and hard surface driveways that need to be put in place or bonded before they will grant you the plat.Finally, make sure to talk to the fire marshal. 

At some point you have to cut your teeth on stepping out to do that.

Hi all, I'm currently seeking a good licensed and bonded general contractor in the Atlanta area.

@Thomas Moran Signing any contract bonds you to the terms stipulated in that contract; however if you don't follow through and lose your EMD I highly doubt the wholesaler will be suing you for damages under the state law of wholesaling. 

It's a store of wealth - just like owning a stock that doesn't pay a dividend or a couponless bond.

Robert, the only CRE with the loan being insured by a bond is SBA, there is no PMI in commercial financing.You may get an 80/10/10, 80% at the bank, 10% seller and 10% down or 75/15/10, more like it.

I'm very perturbed by this tenant but my possesion judement which the tenant has appealed was 0 bond.

@Angel Garibay On the 203k and other rehab loans, you will need to hire licensed, insured, and bonded contractors to do the work.
