But I have had to replace deck steps, hand rail brackets and tighten up one outlet.  

The framing is most likely rough cut so the drywall will need to be floated, when the walls come down you need to upgrade the electrical since I can also bet the electrical is not properly insulated, you need GFCI by sink, you have to have an arc fault breaker on the bathroom outlets and switches and those need to be on their own breaker by code. 

For example 7 years ago in my town of Flower Mound similar to Frisco but without highways & major employers a house could be had for $150k not new but older & needing some updates.

This would only apply to landlords who own more than 50 units, which accounts for roughly half of all rental properties, according to the news outlet.

@Brian GarlingtonHey Brian I have been looking at Holton-Wise you tube videos and I really like the numbers they put out.

I'm glad it seems like it will work out...let us know if for some reason it doesn't.

Sometimes, I see people add bedrooms when it doesn't make sense.It's often not as simple as just putting up a wall because you need lights, outlets, and proper ventilation.

So I am wondering if there is a way to find out...let's say...if we started in Cook County --- which cities in that county would be the best to start with.

If it is flowers and a sign at the entry to the development and a lot rules, make sure that is for you.
