The space in need or removal is about 400 SF. 

What I have come to find out is that banks will almost always see the second multi-unit property as an investment property, which requires 25% down, and will not acknowledge owner occupied status unless there is a very good reason for you moving (i.e. closer to work for a shorter commute, moving to a single family from a double, more space for a spouse and kids, etc.)

I also have a method I use to distress floors which people love. 

In the process I have learned much about restoration, plumbing and flooring and creative ways to keep my tenants happy while thier home is torn apart and repairmen in and out all day.

Biggest expenses will be roof repair, flooring, exterior and interior paint, some replacement windows, and cleaning/sealing the interior due to nicotine stains/odor.

They would lease the space for between $600 and $700 per month and pay for their own utilities.I have a R-3 1.16 acres property with an adjoining 1.20 acres property that is for sale.

I am a contractor right now and a wood floor specialist.

Valley area: hardwood flooring, cabinet refinishing, faucet replacement, toilet replacement, and a few other very small things....all during mid to late November.Can anyone recommend a contractor who could do these things reliably and at a reasonable price?

I think this space could have been used to teach kids about the water cycle, as it was continuing to drip and form new condensation droplets on the mold for the first few days after the leak was stopped and mitigation in process.

& I certainly appreciate the time & effort it takes, but It's gratifying to stand back & see YOUR finished design evolve from the original demolition.I've done 3 in the last 12 months & the last one took 244 1x2ft porcelain floor tiles but I did loose 15 lbs.
