I'm looking to container housing / log cabin housing (kit) as STR/MTR/LTR and am curious how the process, permitting, zoning and financing differs from "normal" stickbuilt construction. What department(s) do I contact in the city/county? Is the land financing separate or can they be including with the house purchase & delivery. Is this a construction loan? Can I use conventional? Could I buy a property that has a lot of acreage and build / add a few of these or would I have to parcel? If it is rural land, can USDA be used?

Would love to hear about experiences or learn any resources, considerations etc. re: getting and building business lines of credit or getting funds via secured funding as an REI Startup. I've heard (but don't believe) it's possible to get some credit or secured funding before having done a deal.

Hey all... someone dear to me is unfortunately getting a divorce and she has a few rental properties with her husband under an LLC (he is a managing member). North Carolina required 1 year of separation (and he's not moved out yet). Would appreciate any experiences/advice/ideas/lawyer referrals/resources etc. She has been the breadwinner.

I'm looking at a couple multi home portfolios in a military town. Are there specific issues to consider in that specific kind of market? How are leases affected by deployments etc... what are the concerns of military renters?

Thanks @Patrick Wood for sharing! what's the financing on tiny homes? Personal loans... commercial if you make a compound?

I've seen the trend on Tiny Home communities and would love to learn about permitting, zoning, cost estimating, financing... etc.  Expertise/interest is welcome! I'm looking at a property that comes with land zoned for commercial so I'm wondering what would it take... 

request sent! I'm also interested in Fayetteville area.

Thanks @Robin Simon! I'm curious, do you actively seek deals or do deals come to you via your network, broker... or some other combination? Have you been in an REIG - did you like it?  Or are you at the syndication scale...?

OMG @Linda Weygant you are my heroine! IRS has not alerted me (but I've moved 3 times)... how can I check this (hopefully without alerting them). Will definitely ping you. 

Are there special issues to consider if I were to do this approach to purchase my own residence which I plan to househack? How does this affect interaction with seller, seller/buyer agent, bank with the current mortgage? I am currently preapproved for conventional @ 3.5% down but at today's rates.
