I am exploring the idea of removing the stairs in the main house to the 2 floor and stairs to the basement to convert the 2nd story to a separate unit(add stairs outside) and convert the basement(cut egress door). 

So the bottom line is from this realtor is, don't waste my time.

My medical degree to diagnose my illness being due to mold came from a Cherios box- it was on the back of the box I just cut it out and pinned it to the wall."

We NEVER go for land than DD to sort if it will work, that would waste monumental amounts of time. 

This LeasingToBuy course, as well as his seminars, are a complete ripoff and waste of time.....Lease options more than 180 days are also illegal in TX (AND OTHER STATES) as are the "sandwich contracts' that he repeatedly refers to. 

An example of not recession resilient would be a karate studio or hair salon, things consumers cut back on when times are tough (and now you, the property owner, aren't getting rent, and thus might have challenges making your mortgage payment).

Those side hustles seem like a waste, drop them.

I have tried setting up several units on my own and it led me to frustration, wasted money, and wasted time.

Sent my tech over and they had the flex line to the tank so twisted it cut off flow to lp, new one for me but it's real!
