I recommend a private process server for the speed and the ability to instruct the process server to video themselves serving the papers.

I'm in a market slightly bigger (25k population) and share very similar pros and cons.Pros:Steady deal flowLots of tired landlordsBecome well known easily and easier to become the "go-to" guy.Less competitionSteady rentsCons:Limited number of contractorsLimited number of large 30+ unit dealsNo property appreciationSlower flipping speedsSlower closing speeds due to lawyers constantly being bogged downAll in all I'm very happy here, and will continue to grow my portfolio here. 

Just to name a couple areas: Hays County to the south of Austin was the fastest growing county in the U.S. last year, and Cedar Park to the north is also rapidly growing.If you were considering turning the condo into a short term rental, Austin does require an operator's license for short term rentals.

Driving a car above the speed limit is also against the rules; does that stop speeding from happening?

Short of that sounds like I'm going to have to hustle up some side jobs for a while to speed up this process.

This cost is offset (in part) by adding quality and speed to the job.If you can't afford to hire a good GC, then you should (as others have said) just go Owner/Builder and manage the project yourself.

Worcester is the quickest growing cities in New England, has one of the fastest growing biotech hubs, has a ton of school, hospitals and even has the WooSox, a minor league team of the Red Sox.

@Dave Blackman Have you noticed the rates climbing at a rather alarming speed?

Adults pick up children and the child gets clocked in the head with the high speed fan blade.
