Disclaimer: I am not an attorney -- seek your own legal council for your legal issues.

If you're in the city limits or etj, they are going to inspect your rehab, require you to go through city council for approval of subdivision.

It just takes time to learn enough where you don't lose your shirt, IMO.Financing is a big hurrdle, complying with the wishes of the neighbors and community, some can't get past the city council or building regs folks as they are frankly, scared to have a new developer fail and leave a mess.

Disclosure I am not an Attorney, good legal council is always nice to have. i have referrals if you need them.

My council felt that my personal hobbies (boating, skiing, hunting, off-roading, etc...) were more likely to expose me (e.g someone gets hurt on my boat/dirtbike/ranch, etc...) than my rental investments, so it is important to protect your interests in an LLC from any personal judgments you could encounter also.

The county and city council get nonstop complaints about the junky transients that stay there and the crime.

I don't know your local government structure, but here in California we have Board of Supervisors in Counties, and City Council in cities, with each region of the city/county having a representative.

I told him that I have consulted with realtors, landlords and the Austin Tenant Council and they all concluded he was in the wrong.I left telling him that I will talk to an attorney... 2 hours later he sends me a text telling me that he re-read everything and told me that he was going to send me the deposit and the pro-rated rent of December

The best, if the lender has not already done this, you have your legal council file for a release of stay.

You go to a Borough council meeting and they mention a corner property has an erosion issue that is washing out on to the street and everyone in the room is mad about it.
