Do you seek reimbursement from the draw request on the last payment?

Unless there is something unusual about the property it should be worth the potential cash flow divided by an appropriate discount rate for the area. 

Can anyone recommend a RMLO and closing agent or attorney in Houston to draw up all of the documents and get the necessary paperwork?

In all the municipalities I know of they will have public "standard drawings" for things like curb, gutter, driveway aprons and sidewalk. 

We've done deals like this and its usually best to get an RE attorney to draw something up specifically for your situation.

it is typically paid in several draws after work has been completed so you will need extra cash to get the work started.

He is currently making a substantial amount of money where I am still getting paid by the military and will soon be getting out.My question is how can we really divide this so it works for the both of us?

Real estatr has been my passion since childhood as i can remember watching the tv show "Americas Castles" and just being in complete awe of the architecture and design and even more fascinated with the contractors who turned these drawings in to real, tangible structures.

I almost bought there, but the draw of Downtown and walking everywhere and being only a few blocks from the path and all of the action made my decision.

Have an engineer supervise the execution of the tearing and building of his drawings, that way you are assured that the inspector will pass it, it's an additional but necessary cost.
