@Donald Hatter We send the information to a collection agency who attempts to recover the money; after they make several attempts they place it on their credit report. 

It started with really buying my own personal home, then selling and making a small profit.

Maybe a better question would have been if you know how much money you have for a down payment on a property? 

I know lots of installers don't do it, and I personally prefer the unimpeded look, but anything installed outside of the requirements of the material is probably going to be limited, i.e. the insurance company is not going to pay you because the material was not installed according to flooring requirements. 

There's no current loan on it right now.Given that the investor is a family member (that's how I'm reading it), buying the LLC will "save" you money from buying the land yourself as there won't be any closing/transaction costs.

I havent worked with him personally but have received a good referral for him.

And I will always be against delaying the receipt of money, no exceptions, including for tax reasons.

Go in person to the planning department and talk to them.

I personally invest in the North Dallas area (Prosper/Celina) where there is lots of growth in homes with nice lots.

Now purchasing a home with cash is always good b/c obviously cash is king but also I think the part you might've missed is that, the money your utilizing on these home's won't actually be yours, but the banks or whatever institution you used to fix the home or make its value worth more.
