Please help me understand the most likely and the most proper expectation:1. should i rebuild - the house is in TX, i am in NY.

They exist to enforce rules to protect property values, ensure a clean, safe, functional neighborhood, etc.

If you have guidance on how to best start a project like this and what I would be asking the surveyor and engineering report request would look like (I'm unclear on what to even ask for).Thank again and If we can work together through this process I would certainly feel the obligation to ensure that you were the sellers agent for finished products.

As a layperson, it would appear to me that if you were to attempt to prohibit a properly licensed medical marijuana tenant from his/her drug in any way, that would be discriminatory against a certain class of people. 

Her initial plan was to sell the farm, retire, and fold the LLC.However, I've convinced her to do a 1031 exchange and reinvest the profits into another property, out of state.A friend and myself are doing all of the leg work for this deal and are planning on putting in some cash of our own.We are in need of a CPA, Lawyer, and a 1031 Intermediary that can help us do the 1031 exchange, as well as advise us on how to properly split up the equity of the property we're going to buy.Additionally, if it makes sense for our goals, she is open to giving us equity in the LLC, as well.Thanks,Spencer

If the HOA is not mentioned anywhere, then it may not have been properly setup.

It doesn't take the place of a proper title search, but if it's available and free you may be able to use it find some initial info.

All it is is a job where you are compensated for bringing a buyer and seller together...To do it properly took me about 10 years of being in the trenches of buying, selling, landlording, and doing a few bad flips.

You will need to know that information when you go to refinance but if you don't have that information, you need it now in order to properly plan the project.

I've heard the auctions can be a place to pick up deals (with proper due diligence that is) and other foreclosures or short sales.
