TX is a "relatively" easy state in which to get started as a developer and builder.

Scott,I sent you a PM related to this thread.

It also makes a difference how the person is positioned relative to a foreclosure.The one losing the property, the lender, the buyer of the property...John Corey

If the above is not clear or you just want to ask related questions have a go.

When I get to the point where I want to do real estate full time and leave my FT job, do any of you have contacts for real estate groups who buy health/life/dental insurance as a group and, thus, get their small business/personal insurances more cheaply than if they bought as individuals?

Am so delighted to find a :groovy: community that I can relate too.

The title issue is more related to estate planning.

if you've had it professionally appraised and talked with a number of realtors who have given you information that leads you to believe you can get 500k with relative ease (within 90 days of listing), yes then it's probably worth 500k.second - you owe A LOT OF MONEY on it already.

Anyhow the house is no more then 10-12 years old so its in relatively good structural shape.

I have spent some time in the Phoenix area in the past and still have friends and relatives in the Valley.
