I have sold the first three, and I am now in the process of selling this property.

You would be exposed to doing work without a permit, the cost of the actual permit and, worst case, having to rip it all out and have a licensed plumber/electrician do it again.I've heard most municipalities around my area no longer charge the work without a permit fine.

PS - I'm looking at building one myself, so happy to let any of y'all use it (at no cost) if you would like to chat.

Given Austin's competitive market, ensure your savings align with down payment requirements and closing costs for multifamily properties.

Even if you aren't ready to buy, it will give you so much insight as to what properties are in what areas, how much they cost, etc.I'm an agent here in Pittsburgh and I work strictly with investors.

Is anyone familiar with the cost of getting such land buildable? 

Hi,I'm selling ~ 1/2 of an acre of land for residential development in a beautiful, gated community called La Enmorada.

We usually had around 3 other people renting for us and sold the house a few years later as the largest sell price in that neighborhood to that date.

But, you can't determine quality by simply what they charge.....as there are plenty of terrible agents who also charge a lot.You'll need to determine what value they bring to you personally and do a cost benefit analysis of whether the cost is worth it to you or not.

From my experience, a 1031 doesn't necessarily pay attention to the amount of equity you have in a home, just the sell price.
