I'd go, if I happened to be in houston at the time (I try to go once a quarter) and if it were in civilization (inside the loop.

This may or may not discourage other potential litigants.

Opportunity cost is huge and the ability to use equity and maintain leverage for reduced litigation risk is worth more than paying the mortgage down quicker.  

the worse decisions I ever made was allowing minor partners into my LLC's many times this leads to bruised feelings and or litigation to unwind.now this is not a lot of dough.. so it depends on how much interest would 20k buy  IE  1% of the LLC or 50%.Also if you are planning on any debt in the company any member with 20% or more ownership is usually required to be on the loans and PG said loans. 

You therefore can litigate against the owner and possibly his LLC will not protect him if you can prove he knew about it.

-Adherence to qualifying procedures and procedures-Knowledge/Adherence to all federal, state and local fair housing laws to minimize claims and litigation-Competent, honest and customer service oriented staff to treat their tenants as they deserve to be treated. 

I am a civil engineer and I have been interested in real estate investing for as long as I can remember and it just never felt like it was time to get in for many factors but now I am ready and I don't want to put it off any longer.  

They told me that because I had earned a degree in civil engineering this was possible and if it had been in, say, history or something like that, it might have been more difficult.
