Negotiating a wholesale contract requires much less effort for buyers of properties will ascertain whether the numbers work.

It’s super insightful.But as you’ve ascertained, the deal must pencil out.

The draws would be set as certain construction milestones are completed, and the contractor would then receive a draw (a payment).

Then when I recently refinanced, contacted HERO to ascertain my payoff amount. 

I do supply the 1" light-filtering miniblinds from Lowes (Project Source) - and yes, they get broken pretty easily, but I charge for their replacement on turnover if they are damaged, as @Kenneth Soles does.With the blinds installed, the units show better, create some opacity to thwart people trying to ascertain if the unit is vacant, and provide some privacy once the tenant moves in.

For example, large operating companies with over 20 employees and $5 million in gross receipts, as well as certain regulated entities like banks or insurance companies, may be exempt.

So it would take additional time to ascertain the REAL motivations.And this is before we even BEGIN negotiation.  

Many cities allow short-term rentals of primary residences as long as certain conditions are met, such as obtaining a business license and meeting safety requirements.

This is the statute about determining the value of permanent improvements:Section 6-5-254Payment of value of permanent improvements; how value of improvements ascertained.

It would probably be worth a phone call to the Garland Planning and Zoning department to ascertain which areas are permitted to have short term rentals.
