I had the opportunity to help with (Floorplans, Permits and Site Development) with the pilot program for PadSplit here in Houston.

Hey everyone,I’ve been noticing more investors shifting toward lighter cosmetic rehabs instead of full gut flips this year — especially as labor costs and permit timelines stay unpredictable.Some markets (like the Midwest and Southeast) are seeing price rebounds on entry-level homes, so smaller updates and faster turns seem to be making more sense for some investors.Curious what you all are seeing:Are you adjusting your strategy toward smaller, faster rehabs?

Any insights on zoning, permits, or build-out challenges specific to Long Island?

I doubt that every single little repair ever made like replacing the faucets, etc. needs to be disclosed, I imagine this is limited to material repairs like major plumbing issues, structural issues, major modifications without a permit etc. 

The development, financing, zoning, permitting, land side is a whole other beast. 

Keep the installation invoice, permit info if applicable, and the retest report in your disclosure packet so the next buyer sees “issue found, fixed, verified.”

Holding costs, permits, and delays with new builds made it hard to pencil out unless I already owned land.

Hi all — My wife Ashley and I are exploring purchasing a turnkey, already-operating short-term rental (Airbnb/VRBO) before year-end.Target budget: <=$300,000Preferred markets: Tyler, TX or Little Rock AreaMust-have criteria:• At least 12 months historic payout data (Airbnb/VRBO)• Furnishings included or negotiable (already in operation)• STR legal / permitted (HOA or city OK)• Good guest-review profile (4.7+), low guest-drama neighborhood (we’d stay there ourselves)• Timeline: Clean close, turnkey transition, quick start.We’re not just dreaming — we’re ready to move quickly if the right property shows up.

For CMHA, bedroom count can help voucher size, but only if the new room is legal: check minimum bedroom size, egress, heat, and closet, and pull permits.

Duplex have different zoning that may permit additional units.
