My broker used to allow me to collect my full assignment fee from the title company but now they're saying the check has to go through them first, and they want to take splits on it. 

Also, the town of Spu, TX and possibly a few other towns now straight up allow tiny houses in their town.  

Renters shouldn't be allowed to be Realtors.

Paying the premium and not feeling that you having a full service team behind you. 

Creekshire Village also adopted this measure and now will only allow investors to have 1 rental property in the community.  

@Jay JohnsonOne thing to remember when you are getting into RE investing is to have your team of people or as Brandon Turner from the Bigger Pockets Podcast calls it your CORE 41.

This would allow you to eventually plan strategically to move into the new house and convert your current primary into an investment property... to then 1031 into your next project(s). 

The electrical alone will cost you $20k...Don't coat the old sewer line, just do all new...I never had a great experience with the re-coats, better to just run new ABS and be done with it.You're only allowing $125 SF for the ADU....I know it's Texas but I doubt that gets 'er done.PM me if you need more help, I just think you're a little off on your budget.

Brandon,There are some commercial lenders that will allow a "Seller Held Second" but most banks/lender now a days shy away from that type of financing. 

I don't like to pay MI unless I really have to and I'm pretty sure most people would agree about this.Once you are done with the Rehab, you can refinance and pull out as much money as the bank allows, or how much risk tolerance you are willing to accept.
