Usually it's either cash or a loan, or use an investor.


 Should I just use a construction for the entire project or can I buy the home with a mortgage then try to knock down the home and build a new one.

Personal residence? Can you remodel it using the FHA 203(k) loan?

Cost of construction is high and you may be paying extra to match 2024 building codes rather than a remodel/addition. Just something to consider.


 The home will be for personal use. The home is very old and will be difficult to renovate.

Hi wanted to see if someone could give me some insight. I am looking to build a new home. I am in discussion to buy a lot with an older home currently there.  I plan of tearing the home down and building a new home in its place. Would anyone have advice as to how to go about this. My goal is to use the least amount of down payment as needed. I have looked into construction loan to permanent. Most require 20%. I wanted to know if they're other options.

Hi wanted to know if anyone has advice on cold calling. I am looking for a single lot in the Houston, Tx  close to mcgregor way. I am interested in a lot for my own personal use to build a single family home.  There are some dilapidated homes in the area. Can someone please give some advice on how I should approach this.

Just to give an update. Airbnb is not giving much help. They state that they're an online platform and does not verify private contracts or arbitrate complaints from third parties. I am continuing to go through their host department.

@Kendall Moore - what I would do is rent the Airbnb from him as a guest, then squat in it and refuse leave and make him evict me.


 I am trying to do this as peaceful as possible. That might be a last option. I’ve contacted Airbnb and was told the listing would be removed however the list is still up after two days.

Notifying AirBNB would end the problem immediately. He can't violate the lease without them.

I agree. I contacted Airbnb and was informed the listing would be removed.

Quote from @Theresa Harris:

If the tenant is violating the lease, then yes you need to talk to him and tell him to stop and start the eviction process.  Also 70 is not that old for most people. I know many people in their 80s and 90s who have no problem with stairs.


I did not mean anything about his age. I just notice the person is 73 years man old yet I’ve only saw a young couple maybe in the 20s. So I know it’s not the person on the lease

Hi I have a multi-family2 unit property in Houston, Tx . Not sure what or if I should do anything. I use one side for an airbnb myself. I rent the other unit out. I have a renter, the gentleman that was listed is in his 70s. I thought it was strange for a 70 year man to want a 3 bedroom 2 bath unit with all of the bathroom being on the second floor. I rented the place to him because he met the requirement for the rental income. I have since notice that he had not once visit the property (a younger couple comes by) and I now see the unit listed on airbnb. In the lease agreement it states the property is to be use for personal use by the renter only. I will say that the unit I placed on airbnb does not make more than what I could rent the unit. I am concern that my unit will have to compete for listing on airbnb with a unit I plan to rent out. Should I say anything to the renter or just let it be as long as they pay the rent every month. I plan to stop airbnb my unit next soon and likely will rent it out.
