My insurance ended up having to foot the bill.

But there is a stop 300 foot away they would allow the 300 since the traffic is slowing down or speeding up, but not at the same speed.  

Might be a good way to get your foot in the door, not having to partner with anyone, low downpayment and a cash flowing asset. 

A 10-foot-wide house was built 'out of spite' on a leftover piece of land in Florida and is selling for $619,000.

I would like to maximize the ARV by adding 500 square foot of living space in the basement.

We build houses for $75-$85 per square foot which is our cost to build and we sell that for $150-$200 per square foot, sometimes our margins are much slimmer depending on the finishes of course.

Investing in your own area when starting out gives you much better footing to do well when you are starting. 

Ideally, they're either going to pet day care or have a pet walker come in to relieve them during the day.

Going into a rental property break-even means that you'll likely be footing the bill for unseen expenses if even a little thing doesn't go according to plan.

You will probably still be required to provide maintenance at the end of the day most likely but it should relieve some of the burden because they understand your intentions going into the deal.
