Hey India if you use HML do you plan on refinancing?

For example, if you set up a Wyoming LLC to hold real estate in Oregon and properly respect these boundaries, the LLC should shield you from a lawsuit brought by a tenant, such as a claim stemming from an injury on the property.

Now that same house you could have purchased for say $300K is now $325K+.So if you would have purchased that same home at a higher rate you are paying less versus a lower rate on the higher sale price.

Never built in Houston before so take my feedback with a grain of salt but I'd put money on it being impossible to build a duplex from scratch for $125 a foot (including everything from drawings, engineering, permit fees, general conditions, labor, material, landscaping).Out here in AZ the builder cost is going to be $200 a foot at best, but add 20% on top of that for the client cost.

When buildings like this do come up, it's usually placed on the MLS, but you're gonna need to keep an eye on the market for long stretches of time.
