I know it needs a few things (bathroom size) revised to make it code compliant, and I will need an architect to help navigate zoning (another thing we don't do in Houston :D), site plans, elevation aesthetics and local requirements. 

That may leave localized rent control. 

Horseback riding and jet skiing are perfect for blowing off steam after a busy day in real estate.

I was curious if anyone was local to the area and could grab pictures of the inside of the property for me so I can try to contact contractors in the area to see what renovations would look like for a property like that.

And too often, businesses complain about a lack of clarity in a given regulator or lack of regulation.

I had my share of experiences in this business.

In my case I was fed up with lies and incompetence, and switched to another local Pro mgr company. but I am being hit with EXCESIVE cancelation fees. 

Doesn't matter, if out of state, you will need your LLC registered to do business in that state4.
