Donte S, instead of getting separate #'s for different marketing techniques, I just ask them how they found me.

If they are caged when alone and well supervised when they are allowed to roam *hopefully* the owner/tenant is keeping them safe by not allowing this to happen.They are hoarders too.

Just trying to provide safe, clean housing to people who deserve it.

Personally, I would suggest you spend some time reading and figure out for YOURSELF what the best strategy is...and then ask some questions once you have a basic understanding of the differences between investing techniques.

You could, theoretically, make a business purpose loan secured by an OO property and be exempt from SAFE, TILA, and RESPA.

I'm sure all would be fine, but I would rather be on the safe side in case the buyers agent says, we never got the packet or we got it on a later date.

Neither of which could be done safely of course.So, the municipality has no way of knowing whether a unit was returned to the landlord in a safe and sanitary and habitable condition, short of performing inspections after any change in occupants.

. $150/sf could just be a safe number based on standard house styles and finishes in your area, but the actual cost will be based on lots of things: - Size of house - Level of finishes - Basement/No-Basement- Amount of framing (it's cheaper to build a rectangular box than anything)- Type of floor system and roof system - Difficulty of lot access/terrain/topographic - Etc.So, the $150/sf number might be a decent estimate, but until the builder sees the lot, the blueprints/drawings and the material allowances for the house, he'll have no way to know for certain how much it will cost.
