I've never heard of someone stealing from a contractor, though I'm sure it has happened in the past.Consider placing trail cams on site to watch the entrances.

Due to my car being on the driveway, the tenant steps on the wet grass, and proceeds to slip and fall landing on his bum.Little backstory, they use  a side entrance to get to their upstairs apartment. 

Zoning does not care if money or services are changing hands (rent) nor do we care if there is a separate entrance.

Originally designed to allow high school kids an entrance to the workforce to develop a work ethic.  

They will probably be ok with a different entrance but you may want to double check first.

The owner wants to get $430,000The basement has its own entrance and can be turned into a separate unit from the upstairs.I'm not to sure on how I would structure this deal, so any insight would be greatly appreciated. 

I installed a door to create a separate entrance to the finished basement, which we are now Airbnbing, while my wife, son, and I live upstairs.

Based on the:1 - Cost to buy/rehab (entrance)...using 4Sale listings.2 - Sales Comps (exit option #1)3 - Rental Comps (exit #2)Can I flip (exit #1 - entrance) for the minimum profit I needCan I cash flow (exit #2 - expenses including entrance) for the minimum I need

By the way I really appreciate the seasonal plantings you guys do at the entrance of the property!”

Unfortunately, the basement isn't accessible from inside the home, and the only entrance is a cellar door outside that was locked with a deadbolt.
