Can I demolish the roof and build above it to raise the living space above the base flood elevation.

That is an awesome return considering Mom just got raised to 1.35 % on her 100k CD.

Raised the 25% down payment through a partnership with family members (my parents and my two oldest children).

This is the breakdown:2 tenants on month to month leases ~$250-$350 less than market1 long term tenant (15yrs) is now on month to month lease and is paying $1500 less than marketAfter consulting with a couple of people and doing some research, it sounds like anything over a I should apply banking rent raise and submit a 60 day notice (all of these units fall into that category).

@Kasondra Milton- hi there ...thanks ...Raised in the fairport area ...live on west coast now ..last summer I had to return to Roch area to help with a family illness  situation ...I stayed in a AIRBNB that was close to Strong hospital for 3 weeks ...in my search for places - I must say I was surprised at the lack of options ( at least at that time ) ...that being said - I agree with your comment about the fact that Greater  Roch  likely  wont  attract a large amount of renters consitently  ( outskirts  like  finger lakes are a diff story ) - thanks and good luck

You mentioned you wanted to do a Short Term Rental but weren't even aware of what you should be charging for rent. 

I would recommend dropping the rent to get it occupied, and only raising rents slightly while occupied and making more significant jumps to get closer to market rate when a tenant has to relocate and cannot renew.Jesse, we've got quite a few new and newer duplexes in Lubbock and have not had any issues getting multiple qualified apps per vacant unit within a few days of listing it.

Most of the negative feedback on BBB has to do with their lack of responsiveness, which could be a growing pain issue since they are affiliated with at least several large REI groups that I am aware of, so are presumably overwhelmed with new business right now.

Quote from @Kevin Akers: If you have everything else in place (financing, permits, etc) and have underwritten the deal where the numbers make sense you can work on raising the 50K from private investors.
