Just like retail/customer service I think everyone in real estate should experience managing their own properties at least once. 

You'll need to speak to the building department anyway for permits, so start there with respect to the variance.I'm sorry to say @Jon Pflueger, this is not going to fly.

@Nichole Kinard If you reach out to the planning department you can get the property's zoning and allowed uses in that zone. 

I know CA investors buying in Dallas and San Antonio, specifically apartment complexes and an Austin investor (who lives there) buying land to build retail.

Additionally, you could not move your Roth IRA funds into a Solo(k) because for some reason unknown to even the Department of Treasury (I asked them) Roth IRAs cannot transfer into the Roth bucket of a Solo 401(k).

So far, we have received this advise from appraisers in the Maple Heights area: 1) Attach all offers so the next appraiser can better understand the market value, 2) Provide a letter from the Maple Heights Building Department discussing the addition of the egress window making the bedroom conforming livable space, 3) provide comps for similar properties sold in the Maple Heights area (these do not have egress windows), and 4) create an itemized list of improvements and cost for renovations to the property.We are grateful to the Bigger Pockets community for their advice as well. 

I mainly handle the entirety of our leasing/marketing departments so since I'm able to cut the time I spend on showings in half, I'm finding a lot more time to reach out to new leads and form genuine connections with prospectives which really pays off when it's time to sign a lease! 

The first thing I would do is call your local code enforcement office/building department.

New restaurants, retail stores, gift shops, etc. began popping up all over downtown Waco.
