If you are 75% complete rehab you are very close to ordering furniture IMO.3 - Look for safety hazards - i.e. uneven steps etc.If your time in town is limited I would focus on these 3 areas.  

All of this lends a lot for sense of safety and security for sellers.

They are also looking for code issues and other hazards which hopefully you are compliant with no matter what. 

The city sees it as a safety issue, they will do it, but its rare.

Investors who have absolutely NO CLUE as to what they invested in, no clue as to the STRUCTURE of the deal, and no clue as to the safety or risk of their investment.

Ideally, you'd want closer to $40k-$50k to feel truly comfortable and have a safety net for your first investment property.

If they find something I didn’t know about and they couldn’t have, or safety related then I’ll consider/cover some of it.

Do nothing...the tenant isn't renting that area and has no right to dictate how you use it as long as it poses no security/safety risk to them. 

I want to provide a safe, structured living environment for individuals transitioning out of recovery or other challenging situations.I’m new to this process and was hoping for advice on the following:How to navigate zoning laws and permits in Montgomery for this type of setup.Licensing requirements for sober living or group homes.Strategies for finding residents or partnering with local organizations.Financial and operational tips for managing this type of property.I’ve heard zoning can be tricky and want to ensure I comply with all legal and safety requirements.

That’s why I invested in rentals—to have a safety net.I'm not exactly sure where you're at, but if your current situation is causing frustration or stress, there’s no shame in selling a property to free up capital.
