If the cat house is in the flood zone, but the larger house is not, after demo a buyer would no longer need to carry Flood insurance per the loan requirements.  

I'm interested in moving up to larger deals myself going forward.

Couple things to keep in mind... the down payment requirements are larger (around 15-25%) on DSCR loans.

We quickly learned that this was more of a difficult task than we were ready for at the time, and that it would hold us back from scaling.

In the larger public square, like here, we still engage the issues. 

@Daniel James Moser The reason you are encountering the "must-have Illinois state license" is that you may be asked to perform tasks that require a license. 

Write it down how you accomplish this task and stick to it.

Not a huge deal and I confirmed the cost will be covered by the town since the tree was on town property.Last night, a little further down, a much larger tree fell and took out other, larger sections of the same fence.

It is hard to say what effect that will have on the larger economy, but I think it will slow inflation.

I'm guessing there may have always been a lingering 'delinquent' balance which may initially have been small but was unresolved and therefor kept the FC moving forward until it has become much larger.
