Any advice or responses are much appreciated.On a new build, I’d highly recommend using a gc, too many moving parts (literally) to keep track of, & if you screw something up, it could be a massive disaster. 

I just got served a small claims suit because a guest thought our pet fees were too high :D

However, I'd advise steering clear of Harris County, particularly in Houston, due to the excessively high taxes.

That’s a very loaded question, as it’s highly specific to your situation.

Oh, and if an appraiser is doing their job correctly, there WILL be a negative impact on the appraisal. 

Second option, if it's even valid, I could build a new house in one of these new communities and then have the house for another few months and sell it (assuming that it would have increased in value) Any input to any of these two strategies would be highly appreciated!

This Mountain Modern condominium has high-end finishes in kitchen and bathrooms including heated floors and custom built-ins in the living room.

Jason,I agree with your plan to use the DSCR.Any traditional debt impacts qualifying for future traditional loan programs.

Why not just go to a bank or private lender rather than play with that very high interest money?

Do I need a CRM and a acquisition manager?
