I paid 100% cash for a house in Texas. I want to ask ab how many months should I wait to cash out? Okay

Here is a snip from my model of the property.  The white hatch patterns represent existing buildings or concrete.  Blue & green are RV spaces.  20x40 each.  This is complete build out and best case.  There are a couple of spots that need to be omitted that are not practical.  The outcome of the asbestos survey and inspections will determine which building if any we can reno for office, laundromat & common areas.

Hey there BP Community! I've recently started looking into flipping mobile homes. The way I see it, this business would take much less capital and risk versus a traditional Fix n' Flip. I also believe rehabbing mobile homes would provide great hands-on education for much less cost than rehabbing an entire SFH. I am posting this in hopes to connect with those who have some experience with mobile home flips. Or those who have any advice for me as I embark on this new real estate campaign. I look forward to hearing from each and every one of you!

I am designing/building a new construction, 2-story single-family house but we’ve run into an issue where the local code limitations (specifically with regard to the maximum top of plate height) are prohibiting us from doing our desired ceiling heights of 10’ on the first floor and 9’ on the second floor. The most we can do is 10’ and 8.5’ at the walls, then we can choose to vault the second floor ceiling if we want a bit more height in the 2nd story bedrooms.

My question is: since most lumber comes in 8’ or 10’ (sometimes 9’) lengths and since interior doors, closet doors, trim pieces, etc are also usually designed according to these more standard lengths, is it a really bad idea to have my 2nd story walls at 8’ 6” rather than the standard 8’?

This is going to be our own, personal forever home so we’d like to have higher ceilings if possible, but I also don’t want to do something that will make the build significantly more expensive or make the process of finding supplies even harder than it already is these days.

I have 20 acres of unfarmable raw ground in the county in Cache Valley, Utah. I also have a well dug that produces 24 gallons/min.  my land borders in Smithfield City. However, they will not let me annex in to develop, nor will the county allow me to subdivide and develop. I have looked at an RV campground which has some challenges due to Health department requirements. I am entertaining doing a solar farm. Any other ideas?
