@Cameron Belknap FHA loan rules in HUD 4000.1 mention not counting the basement as part of the Gross Living Area; however, part of the FHA requirements found in HUD 4000.1 includes a section on “converted spaces” which states:“The Appraiser must treat room additions and garage conversions as part of the GLA of the dwelling, provided that the addition or conversion space…is accessible from the interior of the main dwelling in a functional manner; has a permanent and sufficient heat source… and was built in keeping with the design, appeal, and quality of construction of the main dwelling.”Furthermore,“The Appraiser must analyze and report differences in functional utility when selecting comparable properties of similar total GLA that do not include converted living space.

Depending on the branch of service, the name could be a little different but it should all have similar functions.

So when I returned home I went to check and both locks were functional, though I didn't open the door because I didn't want to trigger the security system.

They did not perform the function.

Just go in, put in your zip code (don't rely upon the automatic function) and put in future events and you'll see a list come up. 

If you fix issues that come up and provide a clean, functional place to live tenants will stay for multiple years. 

I have a functional fireplace that I never use, and I never want to live in a house without a mantle ever again because I have so much fun decorating it, and I love how it makes my living room look.

Play with the PMT function and other formulas in excel for awhile and you will see why this makes such a difference.

Part of the function of a security deposit is to motivate the tenant not to wreck the place, and if they do, the security deposit won't adequately pay for it.  

For functionality it must have on-site parking of some sort, like for 2 cars.
