Is golf a driver of short term rental occupancy or investment in your area? 

I outright refuse to sign him and was mad that why does he asks me to sign that when we clearly agreed that we are waiting to see if the tenant moves in (another mistake, I never put that in writing )6.

Lots of demand drivers including the DFW metroplex. 

Line up funding before demo by securing a hard money term sheet and one private lender, build a simple scope focused on safety and rent/value drivers, and hire a vetted GC with milestone draws and lien waivers.

Did Minneapolis follow suit or did they avoid the madness?

Welcome - seems like you've mad a lot of progress very fast.

Virtual interviews, reference checks, and small initial engagements, like market analyses, help verify responsiveness and expertise before full commitment.For geographic diversification, markets with strong economic drivers and investor-friendly environments can facilitate team building.

If you sell before March of 26 and the gain is more than the tax-free limits, you can also do a 1031 exchangeSome tax-free + the rest tax-deferred - I wouldn't be mad at that!!!

@John Scribante a drivers license for under ten dollars.

That improves the block, raises tax revenue, reduces blight, and gives buyers move-in-ready options.If investors stopped buying distressed houses tomorrow, you’d see:• fewer renovated homes• more unsafe/dated properties sitting vacant• lower neighborhood appeal• and fewer entry-level houses anyone actually wantsThat doesn’t help affordability, it hurts it.The real driver of rising prices is supply versus demand, not whether an investor bought the house first.
