@Kris MayorIt is possible to get owner financing and there are web sites where the owners list properties directly BUT with rates so low and it being a seller's market in your area, it will be tough to come by.

It will tell you how to break it down.Go multiple houses determine what needs to be done in the house, what need to be updated etc...Make a list.Then use calculators like home depot ones and spend some time in hode depot web site to decide material cost.After that you need to determine your scope and talk to plumbers, electricians etc.Have some kinda a scope and details list for them.You should be good to go.You need to spend some time, nobody can tell you exactly what it is.

Taxes can be obtained from the county appraisal web site.

What is the foot traffic like?

Ive seen web advertising for this before, ive never applied but Id like someone who has gotten it approved to chine in.

I am super angry because I don't believe the city council should have the power to meddle in people's business affairs and the $4500 is like getting a $4500 traffic ticket, or some sort of court-ordered fine when landlords are not doing anything bad.

You need to readjust before you get yourself caught in someone's web selling you a course or mentorship.

Unless the layout of the property is such that the original tenant doesn't see or hear the new tenants (never mind the loss of usable space), I can't see that sharing a property with other people, the noise, and additional traffic associated with other tenants and their guest on the property is something he/she agreed to.

I looked over their web site and they look promising.
