Sorry. again you are way out of your league Rob. 

My mother is Ivy League educated.  

Whenever I have a new endeavor and feel out of my league I think back to taking those steps.This has resulted in my journey of participating as a LP in 3 syndicated deals and about to close next month on my first venture with partners on the GP side.Growth in the future for me will continue to be through continuing to grow my network of professionals looking to take the investing journey with me and to find partnerships that can help me find attractive deals to put that capital to use. 

Thanks for the shout-out, but although I'm flattered to exist in the same sentence as these pros, we are nowhere in the league of @Kathy Fetke or @Chris Clothier or @Marco Santarelli.

Are there any Bigger Pockets meetups in Galveston County or League City area?

In low interest rate times they can look like champions if they buy right but they can also lose it all in turbulent rate times.( I am not talking about this company but in generalities ).

High IQ's and zero common sense.....and their thoughts are generally theories anyway.There is more combined wisdom on this forum than most Ivy League faculties without a doubt.... :-)Not only would I agree with Bruce on the above 100%, I would agree 1000 PERCENT.

There's always three sides to every issue: Debbie's, Snake's & the Truth.I learned the hard way that you can't help someone, more, than they want to help themselves.Several years ago I went to the Massachusetts Attorney Generals office to champion the rights of 22 "Aggrieved Potential Investors" that had been "taken" by John Ross.

Entertainment is surprisingly decent for such a small area (at least it was before the U.S. all shut down), but you'll still need to head to Phoenix to see any major sports leagues.

Mike Im kind of out of my league here on advice as I am in sunny S calif and you are in Jersey.I would consult with the local water provider and a local father and son plumbing shop for the meter splits.Remenber get the best possible insulation to avoid burst water mains in the winter time.Steam heat is a mystery to me as we simply dont need it here in Los Angeles.We crank up gas wall heaters a couple months in the wintertime aside from that,,,,thats about it.Again seek competant local help.I reccomend smaill family business with good reputations cant go wrongDD
