Having engineering plans and calculations can streamline the permitting process, as many local authorities require this documentation for ADU conversions.I can't give an invoice estimate as I am not well versed in how engineers price their work, but I would assume something around $5,000 for engineering services on a project of this size.

I am going to be doing an extensive renovation, biggest thing is dorming out the roof to increase the size of the bedrooms.

If I don't buy a house now and instead use my savings to be able to quit my job and become self employed as 1099 commission sales, how long would this delay a home purchase?

For me personally I like mid-sized/regional bank as you are not just a number like with a national bank, but they still have some of the bells and whistles like good online tools that small banks lack.

[Bureau of Labor Statistics]Next came ADP’s employment report, where private (non-government) jobs growth slowed for the third straight month to +150,000 in June.

Clearly at the time the land was divided and sold, it was considered acceptable to building houses on this size lots, even with septic.

The property was sitting on the market for about 30 days due to the condition, seasonality (it was December), and smaller size of the property (about 1300 sqft). 

Right now all he projects are still being completed, but developments can be 3-7 year cycles depending on the size, so a lot of projects that kicked off in 2020-2022 when interest rates and insurance were below and rents/prices were soaring are still getting completed now.

If you do get to claim real estate professional status, you may potentially be able to offset the rental losses(if you have rentals) against your real estate agent income from an income tax perspective.You may still need to pay self-employment taxes.

Would you rather someone have snakes and lizards or a medium sized golden doodle?
