Fortunately for you, you live in a beautiful part of the country, but one of the most difficult local markets to generate a good return and cash-flow from any "investment" here.

I am licensed in Texas, however if you want a good loan officer, my Uncle lends all over the country and can help you out.

I'm just crossing my fingers that he's actually out of there by the summer.

Here in FL depending on country we dont have to use an attorney.

I did a few other tests and confirmed it's the kitchen drain but right where it crossed under the shower where the tub spout protrudes out of the wall, it was touching the drain from above, and that pipe when water's on, vibrates against the drain and encouraged a slow drip, but the drip happens even if I just turn the kitchen faucet on.Now I need to device a plan to fix the leaking drain line, which is 1-1/2" copper, not PVC.

They are one of, if not the largest in the country I believe.They also specialize in non-performing assets and purchase NPNs.

I actively research real estate across the country, tracking market trends and building myself a sort of roadmap to the future.

I'm currently out of the country for work.

Many factors play into determining value, not many comps would have such a facility, the style as adapted to the home is considered, the functional utility as a residence may be less as well.I'd first call your zoning people and see if 5 or 6 kids requires a zoning variance.Having daycare services or other business activities in a residence is possible with conventional loans, but you can cross the line depending on the perceived liabilities of a business, any significant modifications to a property, public access and other aspects can cause financing issues.

What they left out was that the couple had been in the country for +60 years (and never learned English) had a total of 7 children, of which 6 are able bodied and living in the area (why weren't they helping their parents?)
