What area code should I look for in my budget and best area possible for that budget?

small homes don't work. we build a stacked triplex much more affordably. density is key and vertical is the key. use that land cost and fixed costs more efficiently. everything we build for apartments is less than 700 square feet and only 2 beds and all 3 story walk ups and all triplexes. by building codes 4 family is commercial and also becomes cost prohibitive.

I want to be a part of this market because I know I can offer tenants a well-maintained, up-to-code home.

@Akil MitchellFrom my experience, when buying a property, it's crucial to assess local building codes, potential de-conversion costs, and permit requirements.

It would actually be much easier to code in many other programming languages.From my worksheet where I calculated the interest paid each time the HELOC is paid to zero before putting a "chunk" toward the 1st mortgage:(outstanding balance) x (APR / 12) = this month's interest paymentAnother way to express that (for credit cards, for example) might be:(average daily balance) x (daily periodic rate x number of days in billing period)NOW do you see / understand the difference?

Most of it will be DIY with inspections to make sure it's to code.

Do you want to build it to code and get it approved by the county? 

It still is very possible to find properties that meet the 1% rule without much difficulty; but it’s also tougher now to find a mortgage for anything valued under $100k – regardless of condition or P&L.To me, the shenanigans Code Enforcement continues to play on a new owner after a sale plus the recent increase on the annual rental registration fee really discourages buying more in the City.

I am specifically looking at zip codes 76543 and 76549.

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.
