I plan to consolidate my ideas into a single document once some dust settles at work.I'll try to post again by this time next week :)Thank you for checking in and keeping me on top of things!

It's a mixed bag, but the guaranteed money is good.

I always get a warranty deed in my personal name and then my title company completes a quitclaim to my LLC once the dust settles. 

A few things with Allure that I noticed is that the seams must be clean and dust free, to the point I make sure we put the wax paper the boxes come with over the seams unless another piece is immediately installed, and you have to use a weighted roller or equivalent over the seams to really make sure it sticks hard.

There is a big difference between Inexpensive and expensive mortar, maybe $5 VS $20 for 50lbs bags.

You refute it, then dust off your hands feeling like you've done a great job convincing the other person that they just don't know the Houston market like you do.

That may help you in easy turn around, tossing area rugs and mats after a multi year tenancy, and vaccine and damp dust....best of luck...

I used to buy paper from local Portland thrifts in the day.. but the manager that I worked with got transferred and the new manager would not engage... time to dust that one off.  

Another method is physically going to properties on the market in your area and look at them, look to the basic concept of "DUST" in the real estate, after about 50 homes in a band of price ranges, you'll be able to guess, it might take 100.Too bad newbies don't have a "Blue Book" for real estate, wouldn't that be great......Oh, that's a 2006 model Harrison Built in Oak Hills, zip code 65606, ah, it says here the 3/2/2 is worth, in good condition, $212,500.00 !  

All the garbage from inside the house is piled up in bags in the front yard too and I haven't seen anybody over there doing anything with the place for weeks now.
