Even if the rental has a decent cash flow with additional flood insurance, we're still not sure we want to take on that risk as we are out-of-state investors (planning to move back to KY in the future, but not now) and we don't like that it will potentially bring down the perceived value when we try to sell it in the future.The seller has never lived there and has not provided any information on if it has flooded before or not. 

This deal is not exclusive by any means, just trying to help people get deals done. 

With substantial equity in your Fort Worth rental, a cash-out refinance could free up funds to purchase additional properties.

What zoning code could I request a zoning variance or rezoning that would allow us to have the 2 livable units on parcel, one primary residence and one additional living unit (known currently as ADU)?

Hi,We recently (Aug 2024) bought commercial land of around 2 acres. this was part of bigger commercial lot (around 25 acres) which had AG exemption and so the taxes that they paid was around $20 each year. we received a 'AG ROLLBACK' letter from the appraisal district that starting 2025 tax year, we will be taxed at it market value resulting in additional taxes, interest and possible penalities for 3 prior years.

My wife and I have one rental unit and are trying to move toward our next property, but still are trying to learn more and find additional ways to make some side income to speed the process.

Otherwise, you may need to replace a water service (13-15k), electrical service (10-15k) and upgrade wiring (This is a tough one, but maybe an additional 8-15k inside).

My dilemma has been that I've gotten a little behind on some revolving debt that selling this property now could eliminate in addition to giving me cash on hand to trade into some better value or start a new construction duplex project I've been wanting to start.

In southern CA, even garage conversion ADU additions are typically costing more than the value added.  

Duplex have different zoning that may permit additional units.
