PAY ON TIME: you may grow to fully trust your contractor, but your contractor may not grow to trust you.These are the three biggest fundamentals which have helped me establish trust and ongoing relationships across multiple projects.

The biggest variable for me is property type, yet it's never offered in the hundred of should I LLC questions on here.  

With a $40MM+ price tag, this will certainly be one of the city's biggest real estate projects and could be dealt a big blow tomorrowhttp://www.ksat.com/news/development-possible-near-cibolo-creek-in-boerne-17-herff-growth-small-town-texashttp://www.weitzmangroup.com/properties/the-village-@-17-herff

The biggest step here is how much extra work you willing to put in- pull closer comps and ask for another appraisal.

My biggest concern of course is vacancies and turnover.

Here are a few details:Property value: 91,000 (assessed, not appraisedCurrent loan pay off: 60,000Years remaining on note: 15Current interest rate: 8.5%Current loan payments :$650/monthCurrent credit score: ~650 (probably my biggest issue)There are a couple of options that I'm looking into. 1.) refinance the home for $15,000 above payoff and use the cash as investment capital in a deal (probably my least favorite option)2.) refinance the home for the current payoff at a lower interest rate (same 15 years) so that I could save the difference in the mortgage and invest that.

A few are occupied but being that I would have a year to evict or cash for keys to get the tenants out I'm not worried.My biggest concern is getting clean title. the statutes say that the tax sale wipes out most liens even HOA liens.

So far the biggest incentive for me to get my license is speed, a house came on the market last night, before anyone knew about it I scheduled a showing and if the house is in good shape I will have an offer in on it today.

Go to a new Attorney, you do not have to go to the biggest and best.

I think the biggest hurdle I'm having now is getting started.
