I'm about to put an offer on a MF in Rensselaer and will definitely be needing a handyworker & painter for some light cosmetic work.

It offers flexibility as a landlord to be able to offer more or less rooms as needed, protection to the landlord in that you can hedge with adding LTR or STR to the mix, and simplification to the business as your only dealing with one address.

However, if you can identify a reinvestment opportunity that offers significantly better returns or aligns with your goals, selling through a 1031 exchange could make sense.

I will also have my agent there with me to offer comps to aid in their appraisal if they are receptive to it. 

(seems straight forward)B) Landlord denies the request for ESA exemption of pet fee / pet rent, but offers the applicant the unit if they ARE willing to pay fee / rent for the animal as a pet.Or... 

A number of our offerings are secluded; many vacationers are looking for that experience.
