In addition, you have no experience.

The first link to the property does not show the additional studio. 

If the landlord was aware of his past, yet rented to him anyway - any lawyer worth their salt would make a nexus between those two pieces of information and create a liability claim.In addition to the extreme negative press you would get, it also takes time, money and energy to defend a lawsuit you will eventually win.

Asking for additional credits could easily ruin this deal.

You might consider Midtown and take Marta to work as Midtown has some additional opportunities for ownership and rental thereafter. 

North Jersey is very town by town so tough to say more without additional details. 

In addition, the extracts minimize impact to the land owners meaning they are not near the home on the farm and can barely be seen from the home on the farm.I think it is prudent you do your due diligence, but I suspect you will find that there is little risk from not owning the mineral rights and that the mineral rights come with surface rights.Good luck

I actually have two options for this property: 1) Rent out the existing 25 storage units AND rent out the building plus add the 25 additional units out of pocket.OR 2) Rent out the existing 25 storage units and added the 25 additional units out of pocket to rent them out BUT keep the metal building for my GC business to where we have offices and storage for building materials.

With really bad credit I do require (in addition to first month and security deposit) 1/2 to a full last month's rent and/or a good honestrenter.com score.

I use $250/pet and no additional monthly.
