Kinda hard to have half a house on one lot.....As a renatl, or owner occupied, a patio home can work well, I've had both sides and sold each, but one side would be fine if you have proper zoning and filed agreements concerning shared aspects of improvements.

Hi all,This is going out to all real estate investors who have utilized Hard Money in their deals.In what way can the hard money industry be improved?
