It's best to check with the Houston Permitting Center to determine the specific requirements for your property.Generally, the permitting process will involve submitting plans and obtaining approvals from various city departments, such as the Planning Department and Building Department.

I always tell them no for a number of reasons, one being that the background check usually takes at least 1 day.

I don't want to buy a property and find out it needs knocking down, so doing all checks necessary is what I intend to try and do.Any help would be great!

For example, you close a deal with a $10K commission check and pay a 30% referral fee or $3,000.

Do it. check that off your list and move on with your life.

Have you checked into whether or not there is a meetup already established in your area?

You can also check in with local investors to see who they use.In terms of other networking, try meetup.com and see what pops up for your area.

You can fill the attic with spring traps for under $20 and 30 minutes of your time, then make the tenant responsible for checking and resetting them.

Be honest and tell me what will appear on a credit check and background/criminal check.

@Mitchell Hammack If the home is located in an area with other mobile homes, it's best to check with the zoning department to see if there are any restrictions when bringing in another home on the lot.
