And some lucky kids will have him as a silly Dad someday.As someone who never planned on having kids, it's been a very entertaining and rewarding journey thus far, despite the weight of the responsibility {they absorb everything we say and do}.Our little guy loves to walk properties and learned the association between a house and realtor sign very young - though he thinks he can stop and "visit" one of these houses whenever he chooses.I am currently working on a deal to acquire an apartment building and trying to find solutions that reduce the Vendors tax liability, so there have been lots of spreadsheets open on the computer monitor recently.

I have been speaking with lenders about wrapping the land purchase, county and infrastructure fees and house construction into one loan.One lender has a product that would require the contractor to purchase the land, build the house and then sell it to us.Another option is to purchase the land for the land and infrastructure costs, then pay those fees at closing.

I am a property manager in California and we manage properties all over the place, so pretty familiar with working from vendors even from afar, and I can visit in Houston several times to monitor to progress as needed.I learned about the 1% rule on Bigger Pockets, so would love to be as close to that as possible.Property Management - I am debating if to just manage it remotely, or hire a property management company in the Houston area.
