You'll want to consult a lawyer and pay to rewrite the HOA CC&R rules and an insurance agent to make sure you are covered. 

It sounds like a whole new set of challenges such as finding builders and starting the business from scratch.Next steps:I could really use some recommendations from this group:We need to find an agent/broker, CPA and lawyer that has experience with thisWe are already speaking to 2 local banks about SBA and conventional loans but are there other options or folks we can speak to?

Finally in August of 2023, I closed on my first deal, saw the flip through with an investor friendly agent who had flip experience and the flip is currently listed on MLS. 

Looking to connect with an investor friendly real estate agent in the area. 

I have, on the other hand, heard stories of people cleaning up on these canal properties.

I was thinking I could get 1600 to 1800 in rent and my agent also said the same thing.

So, we still have personal items in our basement and garage that we need to clean out before renter ready, along with painting etc.

If you're looking for an agent with an investor perspective let me know.

Several appraisers and agents thought it was engineered wood. 

., I would say start developing a relationship with small jobs like pressure washing or dryer vent cleaning.
