Theoretically, with a "non-recourse" loan, the lender can claim only the collateral property
'Carveouts' allow lenders to pursue the borrower further
In some cases, the carveouts are so extensive, they effectively make the loan equivalent to a recourse loan

La clave está en el trabajo territorial, todas las elecciones son locales y a eso me refiero que lo que importa es el candidato a presidente municipal (diputaciones poco relevante para captar votos), Jalisco con 125 municipios, un partido político chico necesita competir en 40
Steps for bidding out a job as a General Contractor (GC) are as follows:
1. Send complete plans to all subcontractors (architectural, structural, grading, civil, MEP).
2. Send OUR scope of work for each trade (they bid our scopes, not theirs, our scope goes into the sub agreement). Our scope of work supersedes any conflicting/missing information in the plans.
3. Follow up with the subcontractors regularly to ensure timely submissions of their bids. Follow-up is a must, provide a deadline, and give them a heads up a week before the due date.
4. Assemble all the received bids. For missing bids, utilize historical costs (price per unit or price per foot) relevant to the specific trade.
5. Assemble all the numbers and triple-check for accuracy.

Abandoned Blockbuster, location unknown.
A brief history of the rise and fall of the media giant and the ensuing Netflix takeover.
For almost two decades, Blockbuster was the go-to spot on Friday nights for families around the world. At its peak, it had 9,000 stores. However, by 2010, it had gone bankrupt. So, what happened to the video rental giant?
In 1997, Reed Hastings, the future founder of a fledgling company called Netflix, went to a movie store to return the movie "Apollo 13" and was hit with a $40 late fee. This incident, among others, sparked his idea for Netflix.
By 2000, when Netflix was still in its infancy, Hastings flew to Dallas to propose a partnership to Blockbuster CEO John Antioco and his team. The idea was for Netflix to run Blockbuster's brand online, while Blockbuster would promote Netflix in its stores. However, Hastings was laughed out of the room.
Ten years later, Blockbuster was out of business, and Netflix is now worth over $200 billion. It's easy to wonder what Antioco was thinking, but the answer isn't that simple.
Antioco, the Blockbuster CEO, was a competent executive who had doubled the company's revenue during his tenure. At the time Hastings approached Blockbuster, it had thousands of retail locations, millions of customers, massive marketing budgets, and efficient operations. Blockbuster dominated the competition, while Netflix was just a blip on the radar.
However, there was a major weakness in Blockbuster's model that wasn't clear at the time—the late fees. Blockbuster earned an enormous amount of money from late fees at its stores worldwide. Penalizing its patrons turned out to be its Achilles' heel.
Netflix, on the other hand, could cut out retail locations, lower costs, and offer a much greater variety of titles. Customers could subscribe instead of renting, and they could watch videos for as long as they wanted without worrying about returns. By the time Antioco and the company realized this, it was too late.
Today we’re happy to announce the launch of Verkle Labs, a professional software development consulting group focused on building tomorrow. /1
