Nah needs to be 30+ apartments syndicated from a blind pool of investors with no money of your own before you turn 18 years old on a sub-to commercial deal skirting the lines of legality placed in an LLC INSIDE of a reverse S-Corp with dividend disbursements on a quarterly schedule of 10+%. 

Especially from a legal liability perspective.

A good approach here might be to present them with a shared cost breakdown and show the direct consequences of disregarding the septic guidelines.

I'm also asking for contractor, CPA, insurance, and legal references from the property managers and will speak with / cross-reference them before going forward with one. 

Let me know if you have any questions...there are so many nuances when it comes to lending guidelines, getting the best terms, and setting yourself up in the best position possible for properties 2,3,4 and beyond as you build your empire. 

It's a factual and legal question.

Hey @Liz Zack I will start off by saying that I am not an attorney and this is not legal advice.I do not know all of the details here, but it sounds like you are going direct to seller on this deal.

My question is, can I legally rent this space?

The only real way to create a "warning" is to pursue them legally to get an arrest or to get a money judgment - both of which will show on a background check.Although, all the tenant rights advocates are pushing to STOP landlords from being able to consider criminal history in tenant screening:(

(Also, caveat to make sure this is all legal in your state as each is different)One - they are going to move out and leave a ton of stuff behind.
