Especially the idea of choosing what loans to pay down faster, that makes them sound very favorable.

Any ideas BP?

Just a heads up we are meeting this Thursday, 630 at Brooklyns in downtown Buda to talk about Buda, Kyle, San Marcos and maybe even some ideas about development progress/timelines between Buda and Dripping Springs.

. $4500 seems like A LOT of money to transfer our digital plans into CAD (the contractor already built-out our design ideas on his laptop's software) and have an engineer ensure we're using the right beams in the right places.

I think as a new investor, it is not a good idea to buy far from home with a max all in of 50K and expect to be in a B neigborhood.  

I have no idea what the market value for this property is.

He is willing to entertain the idea and has yet to review it. 

Firstly, it is always a good idea to diversify your investments.

My practice is to tell the sellers what I can get them for their house and offer them the alternative of a fast sale under retail pricing.

I can't answer about that specific idea though.
