I had a client looking at two lots that needed to be built with one house based on a 1930s deed restriction.

Hello, I'm mostly writing to confirm my suspicions as the regulations are a little unclear/I'd appreciate a second set of eyes to make sure I'm not completely off-base.

The business I am interested is not in the market and I strongly believe that if I make the owner an offer he would most likely accept it (based on the previous business he sold)  My plan is to do enough research on the location that I am actually interested in.

You can guess based on last year and add or subtract any changes, but that too comes with issues.

Homes without game rooms don't book as well, based on our booking data. 

James,The purchase price and the Current market price of the properties are not what your Insurance should be based on. 

Check out the BP meet-up forums for Cincinnati, Ohio area and you will see "Real Estate on Tap" and can see the information for each meeting hosted and the topic based on the speaker.

If you do need a loan consider looking at agricultural based banks such as Agcredit, Farm credit, etc. 

But they will give you even more valuable advise where to actually invest in the Houston area based on their years of experience.

Mostly I want to know other downsides to commission based off sqft rather than %.
