This injunction temporarily halts the enforcement of the CTA and its reporting rule, including the January 1, 2025, BOI reporting deadline.

In my area, counties don't have zoning, but they do enforce certain rules, like housing eligibility, which often has one house per 40 acres.

Spread your eggs between multiple pockets rather than everything into one property that may or may not appreciate and cashflow as you forecasted.The only exception that rule would be in Austin, if you live there, or in Phoenix AZ just because the growth in the Phoenix metro is so strong and you can still cashflow there. 

So he did a non allowable assumption to get around non owner occupied rules and it bit him in the ***.Karma....

I just was giving a rule of thumb (framing was what I was bringing into the convo adding sf/adding bed/bath etc. without stating framing).

Also, make sure to build trust with sellers and research Orlando’s zoning rules—they can really impact deals.

And if you’re listing the house online, try platforms like LoopNet or local Facebook groups for real estate or community housing.Just make sure to do your homework and ask for references, check their track record, and make sure they’re following any local zoning or licensing rules.

Real estate's "gross rent multiplier" is Wall Street's "sales to revenue",  "cap rate" is roughly "P/E ratio".When evaluating markets and investments I tend to start with GRM (or lazily the 1% rule), then attempt to return a cap rate based on assumptions about costs, then I work my way to multiple years of projections (assumptions about inflation, amortization, tax benefits, etc), and if I am partnering with one of my smart friends I have to pull up an IRR (internal rate of return).I also look at regional employment levels, median income to rent ratio in the zip code etc. 

However as Texas only allows a HELOC on your Primary Residence, I don’t want to lose this facility if I move to a new place (and I want to comply with the rules!).

Rules and Regs might be different now but it was easy enough then.
