In lieu of living quarters, and if your area doesn't really need the value of a garage due to weather, the best uses I have seen are full-service home offices or gyms.

I have legal background, billing, office and executive assistant type experience, and now many years of marketing experience as well.

With a push to bring more manufacturing back to the U.S. and more employees returning to office work, there will be a greater need for mass transit solutions rather than building more roads lowering the quality of living if you want that SFH with a yard.

But I am looking for a local CPA.I see no compelling reason for that. 10 years ago, most of the local clients of my firm liked to come to our Houston office.

Call the offices of some of the custodians that interest you and see how the phones are answered.

I had this issue before, and I wish my agent told me to accept cashiers check instead of a personal check, and I had to resort to hiring a lawyer to scare the tenant with a letter from his office.

We also connect them with loan officers to help get the tenant buyers ready to purchase the property within the option time frame.

Are you asking as a buyer, or as a loan officer?

The 6.8 was some 65 miles south of me, I was on the 2nd floor of an office building that shook so hard for a minute that people were having problems staying standing up.
