I've already messaged the county planning division, but wanted to get an idea of what I'm getting into.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I'll then send them a little blurb about how I'm a local investor and I'm looking to make a cash offer on their house.

Hello,I am just starting to look at properties in Texas and putting together a team to work together.

Ask the planning group to look at another subdivision plans and also ask the engineering firm for a similar set of plans to look through.  

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Any advise about how to handle this situation?  

If you are cash poor, and can recoup cash from this transaction, it will give you some ammo for the next deal that is going to come in the next 12-18 months.If you were using the space, that would be different, but if you're looking to rent it out, and are stuck without a tenant, you become even more cash poorGood luckGino

As long as you are coming out of pocket at around the same you would be renting somewhere else then you are still getting ahead in life because your tenants are helping pay down the loan and build your equity.You should also run an analysis putting in what the market rate rent would be of you did not live there.

I just had to provide list of equipment bathrooms parking  and hvac etc etc.. and pictures to back it up.land to building ratio  So I helped her through it and it worked out great for us.
