I am in the DFW area but occasionally do work in Houston.Good luck,Mark

There are a couple of guys I use for occasional small jobs. 

Disclosure - I have never worked with a hard money lender on real estate, but work with them on a near daily basis in working with those looking to promote here on BiggerPockets.The line is very blurred between hard money and private money lenders.

In addition, we occasionally get individuals that “know someone” that’s done business with us and because of the unique approach new investors can get confused on the process we follow.So here’s a breakdown of questions and concerns that frequently come up. 1.First and foremost, if you are a customer and you’ve had an experience that’s caused you any frustration we’d invite you to contact us directly and give us an opportunity to resolve your concerns. 2.Most Hard Money Lenders require 10-20% Down, decent credit and some experience.

@Atwan KwanThere are pesticides you can apply that work well for centipedes, but if you only see one or two of these occasionally, you can set out some glue traps and that will more than likely do the trick.  

A PM book of business is occasionally valued on gross income (eg - 1x gross or thereabouts).

I did the research work over weekends and I did have to show up at the tax sale auction on the day of the tax sale (Which as 9 to 5 employee with occasional work travel it was challenging at times.)

@Jay HinrichsFrom what I've seen driving by occasionally, it doesn't look that way, and if they did, they didn't update the description of the lot online.

Keep in mind that my calculations don't really set aside a good rainy day fund for those occasional repairs/replacements that many of the experienced posters here talk about.

But for everything else, I did the work myself, and with the occasional help of a couple friends.
