For the dogs, yes it is a lease violation, but they will simply file for emotional support animal BS and pay a small amount (eg $50) to get paperwork that isn't worth the paper it is printed on...and you have to accept it. 

Unfortunately people do not run on facts/data but emotions.

The plan is to refinance the new unit separately immediately after completion and pay back the loan. 

I am currently working on setting up my one hundred fiftieth LLC so when I buy my first 150 notes I can place each one in a separate LLC.  

Separately, if you're getting $1400 a month on a 230K house with very low vacancy, there may be room to increase rents. 

I've done this with my properties because I'm well known in my small town and don't want people to know what I own.LEGAL PROTECTION: By placing your assets in an LLC, you are legally separating them from your personal assets.

Hello, my wife is an optometrist and we are looking to use a physician loan to purchase our primary residence.We have some debt that we would like to payoff through a DSCR cashout refinance in am existing investment property I currently own and from there we hope to be in a good place for the doc loan.Our challenge is finding a lender that can handle both the DSCR cashout refi and the doc loan, since coordinating two separate contacts seems to add extra challenges.If you or someone you know can do physician loans (for optometrists) and also DSCRs I would appreciate being in touch.

Those loan programs allowed me to get into the real estate game and buy my 1st property in 2017 after separating from the U.S.

I stay away from historical buildings in general for all of the above reasons and more, unless it's a larger scale commercial building with concrete floors and great "bones" that can separate the uses/tenants better.

I would strongly urge you if you have time to read or listen to Real Estate by the Numbers by Dave Meyer & J Scott because they do a great job of explaining the various numbers and metrics used to make decisions in real estate, it has helped me reframe financial and real estate decisions because I understand the concepts and feel more empowered because of that understanding.The two factors in your decision here are financial and (maybe more importantly) emotional.
