I'm new to real estate investing and just wanted to get some advice, input, and constructive criticism on using a HELOC as a down payment to purchase my first investment property.

Does anyone have any actual data on the return on this component (previous appraisals, paired sales analysis, comparison on new construction with/without rooftop decks)? 

Does anyone know the going rate for price/sq ft to construct a beach house?

A cattle guard was going to be my other suggestion, but I'm betting those are pricy.

We close a bunch of new construction deals every year with many different builders.

This is a single family house, wood frame construction with faux stucco veneer (the thin stuff they've used since the 80s).

We are new to Texas but have experience in buying, flipping, rehabs, some new builds.If it comes to construction, seems like we've done most of it. 

If they are filing false complaints it’s one thing but if it complaining and it’s true, even if it’s minor in nature - that’s more an Airbnb issue and they know how to game the system.Reality to is if you get them to stop whose to stop them to ask a friend etc.Your best bet is to talk to them and find out what the Cruz of the issue is

Hi,I have a permit to build a 720SF ADU in Oakland. Has anyone had a good experience building an ADU with a GC out here that they would recommend?Detached ADU behind SFH, on flat ground with excellent access, in Adam'...

Maybe new construction from a builder who is willing to sell 5 houses under one closing?
