Not sure if BP is removing the info.

That first answer sounds crazy but it DOES happen all the time, fun part when someone replies all asking people to "remove them" from the list and/or "please stop replying all"!

I am contemplating removing the listing and finishing the basement to add two bedrooms and one bath, making it a five-bedroom three bath, and putting the listing back on the market.

I would keep receipts on whatever it costs you to clean up and remove personal items and then deduct that from the tenant's security deposit.

As long as I don't loose money I will be happy TBH. 

I have $5900 already invested (escrow) and I’m thinking of pulling out and loosing that money because I am worried about the upcoming lead inspection.

If the home is more than $365K you would just need to run the LTV to see if it was around 80% in order to remove the PMI but again the rates still put you around 6.25% at best.I would not move out until you refinance if it is an FHA mortgage because when you go to refinance it will be treated as a "Non-owner occupied/Investment" and the rate will shoot up to above 7% again if the LTV is down to 80% to 85% Max.  

This removes incentive to work.

The term general contractor, is a fairly loose term in scope, so maybe you are talking more about a handyman, at least how I think about it.  

The removal of the owner occupancy for AFUs is a fairly recent regulation.
