@Geoff AndermanYou may want to start a new post, not because I feel imposed on being the OP;). 

@Tim Wilkinson, while deeding an easement is a great suggestion as @Darlena Jones suggested, this assumes that there aren't any restrictions (e.g., zoning, covenants) that limit the parcel size to house ratio.  

I would opt for a single family or multi-housing deal because condos come with headaches - HOA fees, restrictions on using your unit as a rental, and other things you have little control over.

Well, to start with, closing costs are minimized as you don't have all the "junk" fees that lenders impose.  

From a sportsman point of view their seems to be some restrictions about the soft woods  " FIR TREES " as traditional they had been used as wintering yards for deer and moose .

Also doesn't sound like there would be a restriction to rent only to a relative.

Are there any restrictions on filing for depreciation?

Whether you do that or not, I'd be happy to help, and could live stream property tours via Periscope if necessary.I'm an agent and an investor, though my wholesale deals are pretty much restricted to Tarrant County.

Keep in mind, there may be some other restrictions (e.g. small claims court, etc.) on company representation.

I think HELOCs don't have that same restriction, or do they?
