Phase 1The first good choice they made was how they organized the tenants living space to create some separation. 1) They had parking in the front and in the alleyway behind, with the tenants parking in the back. 2) The house's back entrance became the tenants' entrance (can you imagine your tenants walking through the middle of our living room to get downstairs in the middle of family movie night, not happening). 3) The tenants' area was downstairs, where they had two bdrms and a small central living room area.

Dog wash, movie theater, electrical, and plumbing are all done.

@Bruno Araujo Your sale pitch reminds me of this movie scene.

Never should have sold the smaller deals, never should have watched the Big Short movie.

They have been filming a decent amount of movies in my hometown (Cleveland) over that last few years as well.

You've seen movies.

So lets say you are W-2 earner that works an "office space" the movie job.  

On major n/s interstate with tons of restaurants, movies etc.

As soon as they ethically and legally help a seller avoid foreclosure, and do everything they promised to do on time, the seller will turn on them and start complaining about some perceived injustice, calling them a con artist.If you can live with being treated like garbage by the very people who would have been thrust out on the street like vagabonds in the middle of winter without two pennies to rub together were it not for you bending over backwards and risking your butt to save them with an overly generous arrangement that’s better than 99% of other investors would ever consider doing, then by all means, go ahead.If the irony of explaining something multiple times in clear, direct language, and having them read and initial every paragraph of a painstakingly understandable, notarized CYA letter, contract to SELL, and Lease Agreement, only to be threatened with legal action because they claim they didn’t know they were selling their house does not make you ashamed to belong to the same human race, then proceed.If you’re going to do it, just know the following things:1) No matter how intelligent, sensible, and responsible you believe a seller to be, they will mutate into something else entirely the very second you advance funds and solve their problem, to the same extent, and with the same speed and ferociousness as Bilbo Baggins in the first Lord of the Rings movie.2) You will go from benevolent savior to despicable con artist within 1 week after closing.3) They will almost always stop returning your calls once you have solved their problem, which makes collecting rent or qualifying them for a loan more difficult.4) They will understand the terms of the sale and lease with 100% certainty, until the closing has occurred, at which point something which scientists do not yet comprehend alters the chemistry of their brain and supplants their true memories with false ones.

If you are afraid off mold you should seal yourself in a plastic bubble like the bubble boy from the movie.
