I'd use plexiglass instead of wood and cut the holes with the same hole saw I use for roughing in recessed lighting.

Small lots after you develop with set backs , curb cuts e t c it will be no land left for parking and you will have issue finding a tenant after spending all the money to develop it .

A lot of MLOs will sign off on anything, but in my experience in lending and the secondary market for notes, it's good to fully underwrite your loans and not take short cuts.

1) Credit cards2) Personal loan (some banks and credit unions still do these)3) Get a second job4) Peer to peer lending5) Sell some things you own6) Cut back expenses as much as possible

I just bought a new property and, in talking to my landlord friends, have found that most of them don't provide any of these.Installing a dishwasher in my new property would mean:1) cutting out some of the cabinets (it's a 1951 house, so the kitchen is already small, with limited cabinet space) or2) get a portable one that the tenant could connect to the sink when neededThe washer and dryer would be easy to put in, but the hookups are also positioned where it would be easy for a tenant to get them themselves (directly by outside door) without danger of tearing up the floors.I want to be able to charge fairly high rents for the property, and preferably rent to a family (it's in a hot neighborhood and has an absolutely gorgeous and huge backyard, which is rare).

My fiance is working very many hours to make ends meat but it doesnt even begin to cut it we can barely pay our bills and were so in debt and I cant even provide basic needs for my babies.

If you can not recover it, obviously it will cut into your return.  

-Roof - roof has a leak -Tons of water damage - mold is horrible in the basement- Walls are all beat up with holes everywhere( looks like their was a royal rumble in the house) - Kitchen ceiling is cut open- bathroom shower wall is ripped open and ceiling of shower is cracking- windows are leaking - kitchen floor is buckled up from water damage- Both upper and lower deck are in horrible condition( i was honestly afraid to walk on it) - Outside molding around windows is cracked and damaged- all outside lights are broken- carpets every single one is ruined- Bathroom sink is shot- Kitchen cabinets all have water damage- And again ill say their is a big mold problem so i have no idea how much that will cost.The condo has 6 rooms , 2 bed rooms , 2 full baths , 1 half bath 1280 sq ft.

You are right about Texas Property Taxes, but since it is free and clear, it doesn't cut into my net that much.  

Assuming you disclose the issues and a structural engineer gives you a letter saying place is structurally sound, then you should be able to process as you wish.BUT, don't cut corners when it comes to safety.
