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

It all started with removing some interior walls and changing the floor plan, removing a chimney, adding a bedroom and bathroom, installing patio door to the backyard, and completely renovating every other interior element What was the outcome?

I currently own a 2 Bedroom / 2 Bathroom Apartment.

Now, three years later, my tenant reported cracks in every room—paint cracking and full-line cracks in the bathroom, living room, and bedroom (walls, ceiling).A drywall contractor looked at it and said it’s normal wear and tear, but I’m concerned since it’s in every room.

Could get creative to, maybe issue shares or something.  

My goal is to acquire my first investment property, ideally a single-family rental, by early-2025.I’m particularly interested in hearing from others who’ve navigated the Hudson Valley or Catskills markets, especially with rental properties or creative financing strategies.

That way you can add bedrooms, bathrooms, etc. and that adds real value.

Seller was not willing to extend contract or accept creative financing options.

So its either all cash, findings those needle-in-a-haystack lenders, or would need to be some other creative structure

There could be products out there, but you might need to get creative.
