Think like raw land in the path of progress. 

I was able to call them and give them a run down of my progress on a project and they were happy to give advice.They are just people and most don't want to cause issues for owners.

@Hitanshu Shah-congrats...assuming the 4 plex will be a rental - your best bet will be 25% down and likely a 30 yr fixed program ....if you plan to sell or refinance  the loan within a few yrs - focus on the option  with the lowest loan fees 

I bet jurisdiction architect is more qualified to determine requirements.  

You bet!

help ideals. the property is about 3000 soft the front side is currently done the back half is still a work in progress 

I felt like I wasn't making any progress with the agent so I wanted to speak with the seller directly. 

Important: I am much more on the leftist / progressive / social justice side of the spectrum and not super interested in screwing others over - mutual benefit while doing good is my preference.1.

@Leah Smith DSCR that allows STR income is likely your best bet.

You best bet for duplexes are going to be East Dallas and North Oak Cliff.
