And after sitting at a desk the last 2 years straight, doing graphic design, I know that I am much more fulfilled when I am working with people.

In Texas, we can get a tenant out for non-payment in +-21 days at a cost of approx $150 which includes service by the Constable-Initial 3 day notice can be done by certified mail-Tenant can by an extra 5 days by appealing using a Pauper's Affidavit(State they have no money to appeal) however they have to pay one month's rent by the end of 5 days and the almost always never do-The eviction is straight forward and can be done by the owner if owned by an LLC. 

He is a straight shooter.

This does not necessarily discount the individual but more information may be required before making a decision on the appraiser.  

Management fees on multifamily assets are about half of what you will be charged on a single family home- vacancies in a SFH mean zero income, with multiple units you can still expect some cashflow- Investing in a syndicate is entirely passive after the upfront work to due diligence the sponsor and the dealIf I had a do-over I would have gone straight into multifamily rather than starting with SFH’s.

At the time we going to buy the land for a great discount but even at a discount the construction costs put us way over budget.

The house is discounted, but I was worried that it would be mold that could result in some tough times getting financing or costing a lot in mediation?

The link to the register at the discounted hotel rate can be found on the registration page once you have access to it.

Home Depot, Amazon, or are there some other cheaper places with good discounts?

This strategy typically results in a higher contract price than starting high and negotiating a discount with a hesitant buyer.
