@Sam SchlosserWhen considering a real estate deal - throw the word “friend” out, you should not have friends who are business partners.

For the municipality issuing permits they would only typically allow a homeowner to build for a primary residence of their own, BUT they have little ability to enforce that after the fact.

In some cases, Texas Tenant/Landlord Law may legally allow tenants, or even the landlord, to break a lease early without penalties.The following are the instances when tenant may be able to legally move out from the property without any liability or landlord may legally remove tenant from the property: The lease agreement specifies early termination clauseSince a lease is a contract, both parties may negotiate on the terms and conditions that allow a tenant to terminate their lease early.

@Claudio Garcia Zuniga If you are local to the property and only own a few of them it probably makes more sense to manage them yourself if you think you have the capacity to run it like a business.

Good Morning,Myself and a partner are creating a business plan with the hopes of Raising 1million for REO, SFR, Wholesaling deals.

This is tough.Depends on how fuzzy you want the business/family line to be.The only thing I'd be absolutely sure of is that your money has more tangible security than being a "personal loan" EVEN IF you cut him a break on cost. 

I was trying to figure out how to scale my rental business when a friend of mine who had several rentals told me of his program to pay down his highest interest rate loan, with cash flow and adding other money and then applying that free-and-clear cash flow to paying off the next loan and having 2 free and clear props.

I can and will eventually work again (I'm an architect and psychologist), but would first like to explore my options that would allow me to develop this investment full-time.

Its not an easy bizz for sure and there of course are a lot of ups and downs.. .but all in all it does allow someone like me to be self employed my entire life..
