The inability to scope the sewer line is concerning, as you mentioned, there could be blockages or other issues that need attention.

The most concerning is the stuff that is beyond anyone's control or even due to the lack of judgement or intelligence by a guest.

>I'll read up on those legislation you posted but my biggest concern is if the current tenant can't be evicted and can legally live there for free since it's unpermitted.

I appreciate everyone's contribution to the concern, however a few had me much more stressed than needed!!   

My concern is can they foreclose on these properties now that I own them even though the mortgage contract was in the old owners name?

If you sell because of health, work, job, or unforeseen circumstance you can get the section 121 even if you sell before 2 years.

As for the construction loan itself, I'm not concerned as many available options will cover 100% of the development,  Thank you  

I’m not necessarily concerned about being able to pay back the HELOC.  

The National Retail Federation (NRF) reports declines of 6.5% in back-to-school spending and 7.9% for back-to-college, with shoppers focusing on frugal choices amid rising inflation concerns and an upcoming presidential election.During the pandemic, families spent more on school supplies and remote learning gear, but priorities have shifted to travel, dining, and entertainment.

If you're considering it, what are your hopes or concerns?
