Lumber is still running at $500 per thousand board feet versus $250 prior to Covid.  

The maximum occupancy permitted in a vacation rental unit is two (2) persons per bedroom larger than 100 square feet, plus one (1) person per bedroom greater than 70 square feet but less than 100 square feet, plus two (2) additional persons, or a total of eight (8) occupants, whichever is less.The homeowner must post the required information on the property.

The second  problem is it is difficult to find people who will do preparation of the land for the mobile hand ,and also  I don't really know what is better/easier/cheaper...putting concrete pillars in the ground every 8 feet or putting down an asphalt or concrete slab.

I'm just starting to get my feet wet with real estate investing.

Plenty of free options out there to learn the business and get your feet wet and start taking action. 

I may be wrong, but unless you are modifying square feet, you don't need to pull permits inside the 4 walls, unless you're doing electrical/plumbing?

Buy my first property to get my feet wet and go from there.

Prefer Sparefoot since they show you the price.Type in Round Rock/Austin/Temple/Waco/Killeen or just type in one of them. 

Home passes 4pt but has a few feet of drywall removed in several rooms and the lower kitchen cabinets removed.

My question is - does the 7 feet per person equilibrium rule apply to total NRSF in the 3 mile or can that be broken down by class (cc vs non cc, facility age, etc) and the 7 rule applied as a cap to each individual class?
