I don't foresee Texas implementing a similar law, but I'd be interested to know how this change has affected others.Side note: It's not the Section 8 tenants that I'm avoiding, it's the government bureaucracy that comes with it.I believe the majority of the US population lives in states with the same law.How do we navigate it in those states?

The biggest question you need to ask yourself is if you are doing this to afford a property you otherwise couldn’t afford or to save money period, that will lead to very different conclusions about where/if to buy. 

This is what I do with my rentals and it is great!

It's not a Detroit thing.

(So do emergency services!) 

It can be done for new build but not rehab since all rehabs are different. 

If you do not know how to get permits, honestly you should not be flipping.

@Pavan KumarWinter is indeed tougher for rentals, but taking your listing down isn’t the solution.

Not sure how much money % I can save if I do it myself too? 

However, if all they offer is general info, I think you can find most of it yourself in Bigger Pockets and other online sources.
