I am interested in acquiring a 10-acre lot with a house listed for $1.6M in a Houston suburb and would like to investigate financing options for building a commercial structure on the property.

I got my GC license a couple years ago so I could build houses myself as I was sick of dealing with contractors.I've hired plenty of contractors that were not licensed/insured and it went fine.

Hosts usually take 20%a good host replies to the guests quickly with clear check-in information a good host will troubleshoot thermostats, WiFi, and get the house cleaned and ready quickly for the oncoming guest.

Quote from @Sufyan Ahmed: I have never purchased a house before as I like living in my 2 bedroom rental apartments. 

If you are purchasing that MF property for $1 mil then you can use the 3 units as your replacment for the 1031 exchange ($750K of value) and live in the last unit ($250K of value).An awesome way to house hack your way up!!! 

If you take this housing away from these people where do you intend to have them live; in the streets, underneath freeway overpasses? 

At another property with just the sidewalk I let the tenants take care of it, but the liability of these steep stairs makes it too important for it to be haphazard or me having to scold them to shovel and salt the walk and steps.I know in snowy areas people with houses contract plowing for the winter at a flat rate.

It can also be an opportunity to discuss house rules and expectations to ensure you're on the same page.While being cost-conscious is understandable, investing a little upfront for proper screening can save you a lot of trouble in the long run.

They also set up their own mortgage servicing arm to do it in-house, as opposed to farming it out to a third party.
