@Drew Mandela thank you so much this is a great list of questions! Wish you were in Texas! 

Hello BP,

I have a potential wholesale deal and it is my first.  I need to hire an attorney to help with contracts and such.  What are some of the questions you use to qualify if you are hiring the right person? 

Sounds like a great deal! My experience with condos is always check the HOA and see if it has any pending or current lawsuits, how maintained is the property, and if one family or company owns a majority of the units and is in control of the HOA. If a large majority of the units are owned by a one person or company it can possibly be a red flag. If they default on the units or not pay the HOA then it can be trouble for the complex.

Otherwise your cash flow sounds amazing on this deal! Good luck and keep us posted!

 Hey Jason are you in Arlington? I just received my plans and I'm going to the city next week. If they agree and approve I will be converting my workshop/garage into a 2bed 1 bath. 

@Brucelynn

can you private message me his info please? 

@Aliciamarks 

Thanks for the reply. This will be a LTR my property is not in the STR zone unfortunately. They changed the laws a month after I purchased. Do you have rentals in the Arlington area? If you have recommendations for a licensed plumber?

Hey Bruce,

Thanks for the info.  My property is unique(unusual) too.  I have almost an acre and my detached garage/workshop is about 100 feet away from the main house.  It has separate power (zoned commercial) and the rate I pay is cheaper than the main house. I have plenty of room for parking.  I will go to the city directly I think that is great advice.  I should have my plans from my designer soon and I will show them the plans.  

The ADU's you seen in Arlington was it a client of yours? Did you sell or rent the home for them?

@Bruce Lynn

Hello BP,

I'm looking to convert my detached garage into a 2 Bed 1 Bath ADU in the Arlington, TX area. Does anyone have experience with permitting with the city? I read that the city approved 51 ADU permits in the last two years. But any guidance or stories will be helpful.

@Tamara G. I didn't end up buying that property. I purchased another on almost an Acre of land with a detached garage/workshop I will be converting to a ADU 2bed 2bath this June! I'm very excited because the garage/workshop is separately metered and has more power than the main house! I still have 0.5 acres of land I'm in the process of clearing and I would like to build RV/Tiny home pads for people to park and live for 30 days or more. BUT the first thing is the ADU then take it from there.

How about you have you closed any deals lately?
