Though as an avid mountain biker, I should have made a better choice than living in the flats of the delta!! 

When the CEO flat out says he doesn't want to be the best priced then guess what you're not getting...  

I would ask flat out why that’s happening and if they’re going to start telling you about the seller’s other property’s problems. 

. $2,400 is flat out ridiculous.

My next broker was much more generous, took a flat fee of $1500 on the sale then I saved $30,000 more representing myself in purchases.

In general with house-hacking I'll always prefer small multi-families because it bakes diversification and efficiency into the purchase, giving you slightly more levers to pull and security in the investment. 

We have mainly invested in buy and hold MF rental properties.After analyzing the area it seems like most of the rentals in this area are SF.With Texas being so vast and flat I can understand why there's constant development.Factor in the major influx in the state and that equates to even more future growth. 

I was replacing carpet and ran into major issues with the subfloor not being level/flat, so that's also something to consider if your situation is similar.

Is the site flat and are their drain gutters running water away from the garage?

Project should take about 8 hours, and I'll pay a flat fee.
