With last years flooding, the appraisal district may be aggressive on reassessing property values to increase revenues to pay for the "future" flood control projects since voters balked at the mayors initially proposed tax increase to pay for it.

@Vaughn Franklin,What you are proposing is perfectly legal in terms of using the VA loan.

An interesting situation came up where one potential buyer proposed an Equity swap to be used as a down payment, where I would take ownership of their property in Waukesha, and then I would seller finance to the buyer the remainder of the balance owed on my sold properties. 

So you can build a single family home and an ADU but they can't total more than 2,000 SF.http://planning.lacity.org/ordinances/docs/R1VariationZones/Proposed%20New%20R1%20Variation%20Zones.pdf

You can certainly do what @Brandon Calloway is proposing, I have done it myself numerous times.

I can definitely make some CPA suggestions (PM me here), but I propose that you'll likely need way more support than that!

If you re-read my message, I did not advise @Nikhil P. to not have a BPO done, in fact, I proposed I can refer a few people who can help him with a BPO.

My boyfriend of 11 years ended up proposing to me on the porch!

Incentives will be enacted legislatively (loyalty is purchased by incumbency)  to encourage home ownership. 

They are now proposing a new buyer that raises rents by improving a property may have to pay up to $4500.00 per tenant....absolutely crazy....of course every tenant and attorney is going to jump all over this and likely other cities will adopt a similar policy.
