Yup for most of the Usonians the loads of wood used is cost prohibitive now and hard to source.However, I thought about this one as an example of a build with simple materials (steel and concrete block) that are not in themselves expensive to source that can achieve a beautoful design (with great effort of course by designer and builder) at low cost and scale.

I'm surprised that there is no law to prohibit them from doing this.

As a side note, most of the properties I have been targeting were Neighborhood grade C which are quite old and one of my concerns is that I may need to spend a lot of money on repairs and maintenance.I feel that I would need to wait a little bit more and maybe save more for my down payment and try to target Neighborhoods grade B.I’m trying to do an FHA loan and buy a house in my local market but even when I’m targeting properties between < 600,000 (which would be a 2Bed, 2 Ba in a good condition), my monthly payment would be around 5,000 which is impossible to pay for me.So, it has not been easy and it won’t be but I’ll keep looking until I find one property that meets my requirements and helps me to achieve my goals.

The tenant is now citing 1941.1 and implying that I need to pay for monthly spray.Under California Civil Code §1941.1, landlords are required to maintain rental properties in a habitable condition, which includes ensuring the premises are free of pests that compromise livability.

They offer a rate lock only after going through the whole process (appraisal, credit, conditions etc..) for 15 days.

Remember to always budget 10-25% (depending on age/condition) extra as a buffer.

Thanks so much for your time and support.Hi David,Sorry to hear about your condition. $35K There are different ways to start doing real estate.Do you plan to House hack?

Because in their terms and conditions there is a veiled threat that if you say anything derogatory about the company they will sue you.

But most pricing is a function of recent comps, adjusted for the subject property by size, condition of systems, and aesthetic qualities. 

Overall condition is pretty good new appliances in the kitchen just a very dated 1990s look.
