(I would like to know that answer too, I am pretty sure my county creates an electronic file minimum within 30 days...I have seen records of foreclosure sales at the courthouse steps online within 48 hours of the auction).You do need to be aware of your state foreclosure laws and liens that survive auction (mechanics liens are one, maybe the only one in Texas but not sure).Another issue is getting insurance after purchase jwithout a sellers disclosure stating the roof's age and disclosing known defects or an inspection report.

Anyone can design and get approved up to a 4 plex up to 2 stories in height over a basement.

And describes a dwelling as""Dwelling" means any building, structure, or portion thereof which is occupied as, or designed or intended for occupancy as, a residence by one or more families"So renting a portion of a dwelling based on sex is discrimination.

Just pick a good style that works with your design aesthetic.

Hey @Kris Quinones,If you want to focus on business for the consultation, find a CPA with the PFS (Personal Financial Specialist) designation.

There are a whole host of factors that go into the determination of whether a particular piece of land is good to build on, including existing zoning and land use designation in any master plan, restrictive covenants of record, potential for rezoning and use, access (including curb-cut), slope, soils, drainage, flood risk, historical use (pristine or a dump or former manufacturing site), and availability of services (water, sewer, power, telephone, cable, internet, garbage, etc.)   

You can do a Low/Med under $200 sq.ft if it's a flat lot with standard foundation design and doesn't require piers or retaining walls.
