Austin Condo Law, the Queen Ms. Julie Alexander






 I am also going to go ahead and send you a proposal for the project, so you may have the list of documents we prepare, pricing, timelines, etc.

I am both an attorney and real estate developer, so I run my firm based on project management systems and philosophies. This allows us to work quickly and efficiently, and consistently meet deadlines. Our turn around time on documents is about 1 week, and project timelines are 3-4 weeks depending on surveyor timelines. We are able to work concurrently with any listing.  Here is our pricing for a 2 unit condo regime:

Two (2) Unit Condo Package - $2,750.00 + recording costs (approx. $400.00)
- Drafting the following documents:
     Declaration (recorded)
     Condominium Information Statement
     Rules and Regulations (recorded)
     Bylaws (recorded)
     Certificate of Formation for the HOA (form a non-profit corporation with the Texas Sec. of State)
     Consent of Registered Agent from registered agent service & contract for first year of service
     UWC for Organizational Meeting of the HOA
     IRS Form SS4 for HOA
     Obtain EIN for HOA
     Management Certificate (recorded)
     UWC for Resignations of Officers (to remove the developer from the HOA)
     Detailed guide for HOA management provided to buyers
     Form State tax exemption for the HOA provided to buyers
- Checklist for you to coordinate with surveyor for condo survey, insurance agent for project insurance, buyer's realtors, buyer's lenders, and title companies closing units
- Draft letter to buyers explaining regime and HOA turnover
- Removal of developer from HOA

The fees and costs above do not include fees charged by surveyors for the condo plat, architects or engineers, or insurance policies. This proposal is valid for thirty days.  Please let me know if you have any questions about this proposal, or about the condo conversion process in general.  

We are available on an hourly basis to assist with the following items:
- Preparation of HOA budget
- Gathering proposals for condo survey and preparing condo survey mark-up
- Gathering proposals for a condo insurance policy on the project
- Coordination with seller's lender regarding signing of mortgagee's consent
- Conference with listing agent regarding regime
- Coordination with title companies regarding closing of the units
- Completion of condo questionnaires for buyer's lenders

We are always looking for more projects in Austin, San Antonio, Houston and Dallas, and I would appreciate your spreading the word to other developers about my services.  My practice focuses on creating condominium regimes across Texas, and creating LLCs and Series LLCs for real estate holdings and developments. I have formed over 1000 condominium regimes and over 1000 LLCs for real estate projects across Texas. 

I look forward to speaking with you soon!

Should you BUY a FLIPPED House? ATX Broker Associate GVM Tips, Insights.

 SHOULD YOU BUY a "FLIPPED" HOUSE?  Have you personally ever considered and wondered if you, yourself should BUY  a "flipped house." In my 15+ years of predominantly residential Central Austin brokerage practice and experience, here are my insights, opinions, suggestions and things to be cognizant of.  #1. Absolutely, for sure get a LICENSED INSPECTION on the flipped house! Not all flippers are the same. Just like in life there is a wide spectrum in regards to quality. Some flippers are flat out awful. They make very lipstick-like improvements, skip the expensive items such as the foundation, and plumbing and try to trick the consumer into paying more for a home, when the consumer shouldn't.  On the Flip Side (this joke was just too obvious) There are also excellent high-quality flippers whom selectively choose which homes they flip, and then they invest carefully and beautifully while genuinely  improving a home! Some of these hi-quality upper tier flippe...
