I have a tenant who has never been able to make rent on time, they are typically making partial payments throughout the month to get current on rent before the start of the following month.

I agree with @Michael Plaks that the pricing should be discussed prior to the start of the engagement.My firm does not like the hourly invoice method because I find it can potentially cause anxiety to clients who may not know the final price.if you were a nice client and paid an hourly fee, maybe there was a lot of time towards 'setting' you up as a client(inputting your properties, prior year carryforwards, depreciation schedule, etc) which won't be a cost for you going forward.Best of luck.

After a bunch of years, start to sell it off if you want to live off of the houses.

Is the market about to start popping again?

Likely will require permits and/or consultants $125-$150 per sq ftNew Construction/Development: This includes all hard and soft costs.

I have a small house in Coleman you could start with, if you want to contribute the rehab.

Do I even have to disclose that to them as long as I get the loan before I start school and continue to make payments on time?

I purchased about 2 acres of land in Winston County Al I went and looked at the property and its all completely wooded, but my question is could i go ahead and start clearing the timber off of it or should i wait until the redemption period is over with first?

Thanks J Scott I would looking on the website and see what all I need to get started and hopefully be working with them in the near future.

Does any of this make sense before I start to go down this path?
