Based on my calculations and preliminary research, I have found that the Bay Area offers good returns from developing land, although acquiring level land and obtaining permits can be challenging.I have a few questions:1) Is it recommended to purchase a complete house plan from online sources like ePlans or similar websites and then customize the architectural design before submitting it to the municipality?

A couple of people created what they needed using a water meter with a pulse output and some small circuitry that somehow connects online.

@Roshan KoppuzhayilI originally asked my questions before the project I was considering had formally come on line.

Been speaking to realtors but just looking for solid online resources I can also utilize. 

SinceI possess a social security number, and I am wondering if it is possible to open a new account remotely and online. 

My CPA is saying I have to pro rate those expenses for the number of nights that it was actually rented out, but I can't find anything online that confirms that.

I just found out about BP through a search online a while back but I haven’t been activate for a couple of years here.

Don't mean to be a debby downer by any means, but this likely sounds a lot easier online than in reality. 

For example in the Reno, NV area there a small MF opportunities and there was also a large MF project that just came online that temporarily lowered rents.
