Quote from @Mitchell Coles: In Ohio, property liens are typically recorded at the county level, making the County Recorder's Office a valuable resource for property research.

Key Details of the 45L Tax Credit:The credit offers up to $2,000 per eligible unit for builders and developers of residential homes that meet specific energy efficiency criteria.To qualify, the units need to meet or exceed certain energy performance levels in comparison to the national model energy code (e.g., the 2006 or 2009 IECC — International Energy Conservation Code).Cost Considerations for a 90-unit or 112-unit Project:The actual cost of qualifying for the 45L tax credit depends on various factors, including:Energy Efficiency Compliance: The primary cost will come from ensuring that each unit meets the required energy efficiency standards, which typically involve energy modeling, certification from third-party energy raters, and potentially upgrading insulation, HVAC systems, windows, and other components of the building to meet the necessary performance levels.Energy Modeling: Typically, you'll need to pay for an energy consultant or engineer to model the building's energy performance and ensure it qualifies for the credit.

We hope that you can remedy the situation so that we can move into a habitable home.Suggestions that we have to fix the issues:Hire a company to rip up the carpets, treat the subfloors, and replace the carpets, at least on the main level and on the stairs.Provide an air purifier as a start to remedying the smell.Replace the garbage disposal.Hire a plumber to fix the draining issue in the bathroom sink of the smaller bedroom.Fix the tiles in the upstairs bathroom so they no longer present a safety hazard.Replace or fix the screen doors.Fix the gap between the windows and the walls in the living room.Hire a professional company to treat the entire home for pests.

You can always take extra courses or certifications later to level up your skills.

You'll likely need a higher down payment if you can find anyone willing to finance something like this as a first time investor; many require some level of rehab experience at the very least.

The loan is with you, not with your tenant, so none of that means anything to them - in fact because you live in one unit and it's under 4, if you were self-managing you don't even have to abide by fair housing laws (at least on the federal level). 

If your rental rate is below the market anyway, a Tenant might consider this to be win as they would get the lower rate in the beginning and just rise to the level they were looking at everywhere else.Step clauses can be written right into the lease, or created by using 3 month lease terms with an auto-renewal at the step up rental rate price. 

I’d like to add a few things from my experience as a realtor that could help take things to the next level.
