Any recommendations on books to read to gain knowledge on the structure of buildings, building codes, history of buildings & how they were built, etc.Ultimately, I would like to gain a better understanding of these topics & concepts to know what to look out for when purchasing older - newer homes.

Looking to see what other property owners charge for pet fees and how they structure the fee?

I'm hoping to connect with some individuals who have structured equity comp in their business.

An inspector will look at the property and reveal any issues they see with mechanicals, roof, structure, plumbing, electrical, etc.

I'd suggest putting all your efforts into acquiring the property as quickly as possible and worry less about entity structure until it's really necessary.Entity structures (LLC, Incorp, etc.) are asset protection not a tax strategy just fyi.

I am very familiar with the process for acquiring and analyzing an existing structure but have no experience building something from the ground up. 

Also seller is not interested in Delaware Statutory Trusts at this time.Additionally, cost of structuring and servicing the note are of interest.Since I am not able to give advice on taxes and legal matters, I thought I would reach out here.Thanks in advanceMattDRE 02100289

The structure itself would be unable to be leveraged for future investment but would add value to our primary residence.
