Hello All,I've been a free member of BP for a couple of years and had not put much effort or thought into it's resources.

Get any of this out-of-order and you're creating risk, over leveraged; neither of which you want to do in 2024.Try define what strategy is more appealing to you (not anyone else).

In my market, the zoning and plans approval team are pretty friendly and free to ask, so before you spend a dollar, I would give the local building department/zoning department a call and see if you can get answers.If they are not very friendly, than an architect would likely be my next call.  

As you’re probably aware, navigating the zip areas can be a little tricky since it’s street to street, which is why we’ve developed a free zip code guide to help navigate the areas.

I used it for 5 seconds last Fall, and actually enjoyed it, but I just didn't put in the time to get benefit and didn't want to keep paying for it and not put in the work, so I canceled it and started using Prop Wire to skip trace since it's super inexpensive just for that feature since I was getting leads through other free sources. 

Feel free to reach out with questions. 

If the property will be in your personal name, make sure you have an extra umbrella policy so if God forbid you get sued, you're not putting your primary residence and other personal assets at risk.

You are concerned with collecting AND allowing the tenant to continue to keep their belongs there STRESS FREE.

However, it is important to keep in mind that foreclosures can come with additional risks and challenges, such as property damage or outstanding liens. 

I own one rental up there and I just helped another client from BP purchase a great rental home in Spring.Feel free to reach out with specific questions.
