I was at the deed office today..

@Travis OglesbyCheck with your local county assessor office to get a platt map.

Future tenants would likely appreciate the extra storage, and it could make your duplex more attractive in the long run without the hefty upfront investment that a full conversion would require.Another idea is to repurpose the shed into a functional office space or a private workout area.

You're Realtor should help guide you and your loan officer should be able to answer your questions.

Contact the local Assessor's Office to find out how much.You state this is a "college town property", but the rents don't reflect that.The low rents typically are reflective of long-term tenants that the current owner hasn't raised rents in awhile.

A couple ideas below:- Have tenants pay utilities if they don't already- Refinance into lower rate- Increase rents (or convert to mid term/short term rental or rent by the room)- Call the county tax assessor's office to ensure there was no mistake in the tax increase- Call your insurance broker to get you other quotes- Sell the property and 1031 into a better market that does not have those issues- Self manage if you currently have a property managerHope these help!

If I want $400k a month I am in commercial real estate and luxury office in downtown area like K st dc etc.

Of course, you might want to consider the possibility that there is a real legal reason why they don't want anything to do with the problem, like they didn't actually have the right to give you a deed. with all the fraud these days and wholesaler deals.. unless you have the TITLE company themselves do the QC many simply wont take on this liablity.. and I highly doubt the escrow officer was Furious LOL..

My loan officer agreed that providing a lease agreement before closing will help, but I also need to provide a solid reason for why we are downsizing to this extent.What reasons can I give for making such a significant downsize?

The HOA of some buildings who did not have the "lodge or hotels" stopped allowing Airbnb.Commercial: it's a different beast, if you refer to warehouse, office or retail (and not multifamily).
