Basically, the backyard is garage entrance (previous owner has made it all concrete).Red is my solution to put the garage entrance on the side.

Hi All,We have a 4-plex comprised of 2 structures - one structure is built on a concrete slab and the other is on a raised foundation.

I'd get a more concrete plan in place first before doing anything else.  

I've gone with another GC that has been very professional and giving honest opinions and concrete numbers on what he plans on doing.

(I also only allow bookings for the smaller one a month in advance, since obv I want the bigger one to fill up first)I'm currently under contract for a property that is ADA compliant, but will also appeal to guests without ADA needs.  

Doesn't matter what kind of papers: a release, a copy of the ad, a fee disclosure...make something up. 

Hi Grant,My rentals are in Everett, Marysville, Seattle (Belltown), Concrete, Lakewood with the majority in Everett.

Depending on the design style of your area you might be able to get away with the "industrial" look of a polished concrete floor but putting even 1/2in drywall on the ceiling is going to push you out of compliance.

I have section 8 units and so far have avoided the real nightmares of section 8 lore (the ones that steal everything, vandalize, pour concrete down the drain etc.), but I have had some real challenges such as just yesterday had a tenant OD (and pass away) in a unit, as well as not one but two kidnappings last summer, a tenant who’s son got shot in the face in the parking lot, some stabbings, countless fights and arguments and cops at the building and of course the missed rent payments (tenant portion of course which is only $50-100), and much higher turnover rate than my non-section 8 units just because folks who can’t afford rent generally have less stable lives and move/ are involved in crime/ go to jail/ fall off the wagon/ have incidents of domestic violence/ revert to homelessness etc. more often than other tenant classes.

If it's concrete slab, definitely use it.
