The property must have working plumbing for toilets and kitchen sinks, stuff like that. 

In Texas, creditors have a window to make claims against the estate and election of claim for how it will be treated.But most importantly, get a local lawyer that knows real estate and probate.

My first property I looked at with my Agent was a house in Westminister, it was a 5 bed 2 bath home, 3 of the bedrooms were in the basement, I thought to myself looking at the property (this would be a great house hack, ill just rent out the basement rooms, not knowing any better about code), my agent informed me that the rooms were not up to code and didn't have any egress windows / wells installed, and that it would be an expensive cost to have them brought up to code, and that this particular house wouldn't be a great house hacking investment, so I passed.

The X Plus Team is looking to grow our list of referral contractors for our clients who are buying multi family properties and doing a range of rehab projects from painting kitchen cabinets to gutting and rebuilding entire units and buildings.

Clicking on that, you'll see "Download PDF" at the bottom of the  Report Sharing Settings dialogue window.

We have codes that require us to use impact windows or suitable storm protection. 

During an inspection on an egress window, we got accused or altering a wall arch we'd opened up and rebuilt due to water damage and issued a stop work order.

Also I will be hanging kitchen cabinets in this room - I'm open to discussing this work if there is interest. 

They consider a basement in a house with a kitchen with a stove and a bathroom with a shower an accessory apartment which is what this house has.

The basement acts as a 3 bed/ 1 bath apartment with it's own full kitchen, laundry and a separate entrance through the garage.
