The sellers had put so much pots, plants, planters and shrubs out that I thought there were too many plants/planters that would require a new owner to upkeep.After a few potential buyer tours/showings, the owner heard all the comments (via the security cameras) about how there was a "lot going on with the plants and stuff out front".

I know lots of installers don't do it, and I personally prefer the unimpeded look, but anything installed outside of the requirements of the material is probably going to be limited, i.e. the insurance company is not going to pay you because the material was not installed according to flooring requirements. 

Finding these guys will require someone local or a lot of luck.

Maybe I’m wrong but I had to do that on our STR (Ring) and Wyze also requires close proximity on initial setup.

Most building codes and HUD standards require bedrooms to have windows for egress and ventilation.

They require the same amount of attention as everyone else and we are one entity....Not everybody dances to the beat of your drum.

thanks for the guidance @Kaushik Sarkar Since it's development it will take longer to get to the exit. 3 years could be right depending on the market, if the project requires entitlements, how long it takes for permits, no major utility obstacles, etc.

They required me to have reserves, experience, describe what I would do with the property and they did an appraisal on the property. 

Rent control measures, burdensome employment regulations, and excessive administrative requirements exemplify this.

The requirement to do this generally involves an experienced GC signing on the borrowing entity as a 20+% owner thus making them a signatory on the loan and responsible for the debt which in most cases is not very easy to find.
