I've always loved and learned about houses, from mechanicals to design, and I'm ready to work.

I think overturning some of them will include getting some of the nearby lots to vote on it as there is a clause stating that that's allowed.The thing that scares me the most is regarding the stylistic stuff -- there's a clause stating -- "The homes shall be harmonious with and reflect the exterior design characteristics of these homes already erected on the property" and that combined with -- "it should be lawful for any peron or persons owning any real property situated in said tract, to prosecute an action or proceeding at law or in equity against a person or persons either to prevent him or them from violating these covenants or to recover damages for such violation"My RE lawyer friend said that its such a broad clause that it could potentially open you up to getting sued if a neighbor really wanted to depending on the stylistic choice of your home.

Would this be a gift, or some other way to transfer?

Learned about clean out, demo, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, flooring, design, floor plans, functionality of a home, landscaping, and all the nerves and excitement that come with this business!
