Most likely you'll have pushback, but you may get lucky and them being open to increases and signing a new lease. 

Advertising a non-conforming unit without disclosing its illegal status could be considered deceptive (and fraudulent), opening the owner to major legal risks (fines or tenant lawsuits).Even private marketing, like word-of-mouth, doesn’t absolve the owner from liability if the unit fails to meet legal requirements.

However, this would limit us to buying something in a somewhat expensive SWFL market (we cannot leave the area) but we are open to it. 2.

Cant open it.. 

I wish we could keep the dialog open and we could resolve this amicably, but I feel like the way she approached this has shut down that option.

@Kenroy BernardTo acquire a multifamily property in Long Island, develop a VA Loan Strategy, obtain pre-qualification from a lender, factor in renovation costs, conduct market research, build a team with experienced agents, network with investors, strengthen your business plan, expand knowledge through tools, and take action by searching for properties, attending open houses, and setting a closing timeframe.

In the end, the weekend after the fed announced the first interest rate drop, we had an open house that had more traffic than our opening weekend 3 months earlier. we received a full-price offer for the house and closed in early November. obviously I have no way of knowing if the interest rate drop was a trigger, but nothing else changed in the market at that time. just wanted to share in case others are curious. appreciate all the thought partnership!

And I'm open to your comments, so please comment:)The SCS wants a wetland delineation and NPDES permit in addition to the normal E&S plan and stormwater controls.

@Nakul PatelBest asset protection is an insurance policy, you open a LLC then you are gonna have to pay like $850 a year for it if you are in California even if it’s a LLC in another state plus other fees and costs.
