@Greg R.It cam be difficult to be at the top of the searches on both AirBNB and VRBO at the same time, because both availability given to the platform and previous bookings on the platform are big factors in the algorithms used to elevate placement.

Guests were walking in the elevator as me and the hvac guy were walking out. 

We dug the foundation, the pad was all set to go, the exact correct elevation etc... and then it rained like crazy for the better part of a month and now the whole site has turned into a rutty claylike mess with a ton of water in it. 

I know it needs a few things (bathroom size) revised to make it code compliant, and I will need an architect to help navigate zoning (another thing we don't do in Houston :D), site plans, elevation aesthetics and local requirements. 

@Hunter Harms I'd work with an Architect when doing an addition or overhauling the front elevation.

It isn’t an elevated wall.

Christian Bunte it was just a foundation grid that they came out and mapped the home and the elevation.

Depending on the dimensions of your tract, your goal should be to orient your garages with the elevation difference going front-back or back-front. 

I am good with being pitched and expect it.Good points, Jay.MMG’s, REIA’s are not churches, but even churches need to stick their hands out.The point is if you gain value and an advantage by being a part of a group.What I don’t appreciate are MMG’s that form with the underlining intention of selling product through the group versus elevating members within the group.You see that a lot in the real estate space.As long as the pitching is done upfront in an honest and forthcoming manner, I’m good with it.Thanks, Jay
