The property basically broke even at a cashflow level, but with 25 year amortized loan, I was paying down principle each month. 

It's really pretty simple...it's called principles of sound financial practices. 

Guessing, I'd say you aren't the principle engineer but a working partner or hired help.It's cool for kids to show up for work in a professional position with jeans, but not to attract those who control the money, they usually are not 35 years old, they are 50+ which means they expect a different manner dress and act appropriately.

Did you recoup your principle?

I'm thinking I can do prime for 2 years I/O with draw downs against the principle when we do Construction Loans.  

I was able to get three of the classes waived from my undergraduate business degree and just had to take : Real Estate Appraisal, California Real Estate Principles, Practice, Law, and Finance. 

I strive to keep the same principles with my contractors that you mentioned.

Small town near Florence and Darlington (where they're have the Nascar race this weekend) I believe its a little different market than where you are, but the principles should be the same.I love real estate.

While the cash flow is small it has built up over time plus I still get principle pay down.

The real failing of LegalZoom, from the perspective of a lawyer, is that the service does not adequately help you protect your personal interests a number of different ways; the first is that LegalZoom, absent additional fees, will not provide indepth explanation of how to maintain the corporate veil, basic accounting principles, and other common legal strategies that will completely nullify your asset protection plan.
