Send me a message if you would like a copy of our7 CRITICAL STEPS TO PREVENT A TENANT NIGHTMARE BEFORE HANDING OVER THE KEYS

I understand this may prevent me from getting the absolute best terms on a HML, so I'll turn to professional before I settle on a lender, but I'd like to start the shopping process on my own.

A few clients or properties can suck up all of our time and attention and ultimately, prevent us from taking on more business. 

Same thing happened where I am in areas where there were fires that destroyed towns or in areas where hail storms are more frequent.As for blame, there is no point blaming anyone, just learn from what happened and try to prevent it again (not fires because they will happen, but things like running out of water) or reduce the damage if it does happen again at that scale. 

If the tenants are the issue, they can make it very difficult to show the property and this can create a lot of issues for you during this time.It will also prevent you from selling your home for maximum market value as only few people will want to deal with holdover tenants.

Where it gets interesting is that the house has 5 mailing addresses associated with it and the fire prevention bureau has on their records it is also a 5- unit house, and I am billed as such upon annual renewals/inspections.

Quote from @John Underwood: LOLI'm certain they will add restrictions to prevent people from doing this.

They "what if" it to death and allow the fear of failure to prevent them from ever entering the game.

Maybe they would/could take it upon themselves to pay for the repairs to the roof to salvage your unit and prevent further damage then they would go after the HOA to recoup costs.

Also I don't think it's that clear that any of these tactics would actually prevent the bank from enforcing the due on sale.
