I wasn’t trying to be long winded, with too much detail, in my initial post but I actually did this method on a fix and flip.

Recent discussions in Bloomberg and the Yale Law Journal shed light on the challenges posed by traditional zoning regulations and offer insights into potential reforms that could benefit co-living arrangements.Zoning Laws and the Definition of FamilyTraditional zoning laws often define "family" in narrow terms, typically limiting residential occupancy to individuals related by blood, marriage, or adoption.

A partner and I began searching, and after coming up empty for 6 months, we were sent this deal by a close friend and ended up closing a month later.

I have used him for over 5 yrs and was actually recommended by a nearby HOA President. 

He rightly points out the true material costs when accounting for all of the smaller misc. items add up and is usually under represented in construction budgets by new investors.

My experience with friends/some clients is get their numbers via whatever method you can and reach out via the phone.

I think your correct though folks have to adjust to the new normal and the interest rates they are not coming down like folks hoped for I think we are in for a run of years were rates will be more like the 2000s  6 to 7% and Owner occ in the 5s with Maybe some high 4s. but by the time folks wait for that prices will rise in the better markets.

Here's her most recent thought on the matter if it helps: "Lack of inspection during building by project managers [is the problem].

If we were not able to raise the price of our homes by 20% or more we would had to stop.. my LORI plan started at 600k sold two of them and made our normal 100k net.. last loris I sold 36 months later went for 850 to 900k and we made right at 250k NET on those ones.. so it was very specific to plans that CASH buying empty nesters wanted ..

That was such a good song, and by a lovely lady as well.Yes, she was actually quite nice.
