I am paying “cost” meaning builder level cost for material and minimal average labor costs with no profit for the builder of record.

Mostly with the topic, "Hello, i am so and so, i am a local real estate investor and i came across your number in the public records.

My personal record was 22 minutes from notification to closing. 

If that is of interest  I would recommend establishing relationships with one or two folks who have decent track records.  

In San Antonio we have bcad, tax assessor, and public records 3 different sites to look out for when looking into a property.

If you choose to go another route we request all records, minutes etc”

He then responded to my post saying that he was happy with his success in the deal and that he wanted to do the deal to show other investors a track record before he takes their money to invest it in a large multifamily deal.

I’ll say in our area we are still seeing a lot of closings almost record numbers in our area a couple weeks ago.

He doesn’t have his own business, so working with him as a contractor isn’t an option.I never received my EIN in the mail.I have since called the IRS and reach a recorded message saying they’re basically shut down currently.I obviously can’t register for EFTPS or remit payroll taxes without the EIN.

@Peter Walther If the “seller” fails to disclose the existence of an HOA, any CCRs of record (included as special exceptions in the policy) don’t reference mandatory periodic assessments, there is no recorded HOA lien, and the auction terms state that the buyer takes title subject to any existing dues or assessments, how does the title claim shake out?
