Which laws specifically are your pain points ? 

@Sharon Porter What specific part of TX?

If you have any specific questions I'd be happy to connect with my attorney for advice. 

The other is a smaller operation which does a lot of business in the specific neighborhood the house is in.  

But, since you seem to be implying very specific things, but without being specific.

Plus, very important to understand the new layout and how the dig down will effect the existing stairs, plumbing, etc.Happy to connect and talk through your specific situation because @Bruce Woodruff mentioned every project is different and know one price fits all espeically with these complex jobs.Where at in Chicago is your building?

@Apryl Skahill To get your risk-averse spouse on board with real estate investing, start by educating him with beginner-friendly resources that highlight the long-term stability, cash flow potential, and tax benefits of real estate, such as depreciation deductions and offsetting W-2 income.

These specific questions should be posed to the agent that sold you the policy. 

I THINK you could probably just expense your deductible if insurance didn’t cover 100%.

I'll be specifically looking to start in the Cincinnati, Ohio and lean towards targeting buy and hold single family and potentially multi family as well.Any advice is appreciated and I look forward to connecting.
