I'd be curious to get your opinion or anybody else on the post.  

He was more expensive because now I gotta pay someone else to fix it.But here's the other side of the license issue.

You could easily spend a lot of capital to start with something else but doing the house hack gets you started and your feet wet.

I know the HOA documents would have information on that, but I'd like to know if there's anything else I can do to confirm that I won't be restricted (with the builder/community) if I turn it into a residential rental one day.Thank you and Happy Holidays!

And I'd hope people have enough wit's to figure if someone BS's their way to get "biz leads" there probably going to BS their way through/around anything/everything else.     

If you're open to sharing, I'd love to know who's building for you and anything else you feel like sharing.

Does anyone else do it like this and who do you use for liability insurance?

Do you need this place to live in, or can you rent it out and have somewhere else to live?

I'm not opposed to spending the money and have a demo scheduled with them this week, but was curious if anybody else has other data providers that they like better for more niche areas of distress such as bankruptcy, probate, divorce, code violations etc. that I can stack with my current data.I have submitted right-to-know requests with the local counties but only certain information is available and can be cumbersome.
