Also u have to try to make sure they are paying their suppliers.A few years back I was building a housing subdivision and my underground guy was giving me pause.and So we checked with his pipe supplier and his Gravel supplier..

For example, my friend's house was put on a lis pendens just because he had the same common name as a plaintiff in a divorce case in another state.

However city is imposing a good amount ofimpact fees based on the bedroom count - which accounts to close to $40 k , which i cannot afford- Ibought the house for myself to reside and cannot afford to pay this.We verified with city prior to buying and theyconfirmed it is residential zoned , however never mentioned about any impactfees.It is residential zone - MLS shows it as 3 bedroom 2baths - it had a extra unit  in the back and also a inbuilt rolling bed on 1st floor for the main I am stuck here- they are asking to prove it was usedas a residential -ever - any guidance would be appreciated on this.

I own a rental house in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida.

After six months on the market, we received no commucation nor any potential tenant inquiries which we found to be extremely strange given the good shape of the house and pricing.At last we decided to take the property back. 

@Sandy RLAre you still flipping houses?

They tear your houses up.

Newbie here - 2 weeks into my first property, I plan to house hack short-term rental (live in basement, rent main house) in Nashville.

You should consider learning about house hacking, BRRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, and Repeat) and group home investing, I feel.

As I have in house notary..
