I was looking to have it convert to a long-term mortgage and eventually cash out refinance to build a second duplex once enough equity built up  Unfortunately that is going to be designated as rural by almost every bank just for the acreage alone.

Design called for this to be installed on same plane as the doors.

Maybe video the interior before and after work (not sure about the legality?)

Zoning change and a lot of design an lobbying.

The people who can share those kinds of resources are the people doing the design and drafting work as their profession. 

That is how I got started.I also encourage you to listen to the Thanks for Visiting podcast because they are in your city.I hired an online interior designer and gave a per-square-foot budget.

Abstracts a lot of the programming and design work.

Who designed the home?

Yes, on the original contract it states "My Company, or designated entity" and yes, I told my realtor it was being assigned, and also forwarded the assignment contract to title, all prior to the deal falling apart.Would that change things at all?

The seller said they re-did flooring, repainted the interior and added some other fixtures in the past year since they've owned it.
