We're working with a new construction builder who has an in-house lender (Austin, Texas area).

Do they do any of this in house? 

The house was purchased in October and is still in rehab.

This gives you a foundation for making a fair offer.Secure Financing: Be prepared to show you’re a serious buyer with funding lined up, whether through cash, traditional financing, or a creative option like seller financing.Have a Strategy for Repairs or Development: If the property is distressed, outline how you’ll handle improvements to bring it back to productive use.

But with the zoning regulations, the pricing of houses seem so impossible to achieve.

Ultimately you will have to sell your house at a discount. 

In the eyes of the law, it's no different than a cane or a wheelchair.Keep in mind, just because the ESA is not considered a pet doesn't mean it gets to run rampant, disturb the neighbors, crap all over the parking lot, or tear up the house.

It doesn't cover any loss of income due to your rental being repaired.

@Madison SloanTo start house hacking, focus on saving for your down payment, researching target markets like Salt Lake City or North Idaho, and building a strong team of professionals, including an agent and lender.

The main house will be house hacked for the first year and will turn into a co-living.
