Do you pop the top, build a floor plan you want in the future and then put renter proof flooring, cabinets, paint, appliances, etc in and wait? 

Not only do they hold up better to tenant abuse, but they are more sound-proof and present a "higher-end" feel during showings.

Hi there!I'm just starting a 1200 sqft renovation on a duplex in Washington state.  Ductless heating works well here, but I'm worried about tenants breaking them.  Central, ducted heating seems much more robust.  Can ...

Bank statement and proof of pension deposit etc. the biggest thing you may run across is a high DTI ratio

Ask your lawyer about adverse possession and also if you have receipts and proof you paid for the home, see if that would make a difference too.

Forbes even called us recession proof! 

He used that as proof to substantiate the tax value was too high. 

For a flip, if you find a good deal and get it locked up in your name (your problem moves down the food chain as to how you can do this with no proof of funds etc), then its possible to JV with someone with cash who will fund the purchase + rehab, since you are bringing the deal.Now ask how can you get a good deal under contract? 

Reach out to me I’d be happy to walk you through things to look out for when there isn’t a lot of ‘proof’ of anything.

The arbitrators tend to also favour tenants, and the burden of proof on the landlord is high.
