We have exchanged messages in the past and your assessment of our results means a lot to me because of my respect for your substantial experience.  

I obviously have a lot to learn, but this seems to be the place to learn.Again, thank you!

OK send us docs we will give it a free look.. 3 days later free look is over send us 10k for in depth due diligence.. then string borrower along until they go away.Some lady was trying to develop a parcel in Clear Lake CA.. ( I happen to have first hand knowledge of this as I am from there) that parcel could never be developed.. they led her on and she lost her EM deposit her 10k to these guys and her dream.. she went ballistic and some how got a retired FBI agent to help her.bottom line 25 years in business they could only document 3 loans that Remington had actually done and they brought in over 40 million dollars over those years.. so now were just bereft with the little time scammer.. the guy who pops on BP with a phoney company and promises private lenders at 3 % 100% ltv the newbies and beginners on BP think they hit the jack pot only to get scammed out of 500 to 1000 bucks before they too realize its a fake.One guy posted HEY I NEED DEALS  I just got approved for 20 million...

Regarding your rental questions on the SATX market, there is a lot to go over.  

@Walter Correia   Does he bring a lot to the table as an agent? 

Hey, that's too bad.For the ADU, if you don't know, you need a 5500 plus lot to build a 600 sq ft ADU max.

Even though it sounds like you have tons of experience already, there is still a lot to learn and as you said to share with others.

I am sure Bigger Pockets will help you a lot to gain the knowledge you need to get started.Good luck!

There are a few other things south and many from around Boston up into NH as well.Sounds like you have a lot of good experience and can bring a lot to the table.  

Still doable but a lot to do.Your best deal would be to find someone to partner with in that area who has done it before.
