Thank you for compiling such a comprehensive list Brian.My own choices have substantial overlap with yours.

I will work to accommodate everyone's schedule. 

And any efforts to be nice and accommodating were interpreted as being "weak".

I didn't have any roofing or HVAC issues.If you're financing any of the rehab, saving non-critical patj items until the end saves a little on interest and at the same time, for things like windows and doors, keeps them from becoming casualties of the construction.If permits are required, that, too, will influence the order to accommodate inspections.Another thing a builder once told me is that once a house is framed, do HVAC, Plumbing and Electrical rough ins, in that order.

I like the BP calculator but recently found this one that seems pretty comprehensive and include rough tax benefit estimates.

I totally respect if someone has a personal reason for not wanting to meet at a place that serves alcohol as a primary beverage and can rework the plan to accommodate anyone with that preference.

LLC formation, operating agreement, tax-planning, SEC regulations, and so forth...Is there a comprehensive attorney in Texas, with plenty of multi-family investing experience, who can guide us throughout the phases of a transaction?

Anyone know of a comprehensive list of County, State, and City clerk or court websites?

I always ask the lender what he or she wants and try to accommodate their wishes.
