Our current tenant has been there a year and a half and couldn't be happier!

We manage several in that area and the tenants are not the easiest tenants to deal with.

Half the time the city can't make up its own mind on what needs to be permitted and what doesn't, doesn't have enough inspectors to keep up and often have rules that don't even make sense to national building code guidelines.

wow thanks bro. rude. you don't know the half of it.

Kind of like appraisals one surveyor is doing their math one way and it does not match anothers.. also depends on where their controls are .. do they have to go half a mile away to find a control point to then measure back in..   

The easiest route here would be to refinance as a vacant BRRRR at the shortest available seasoning of 90 days, before the property is leased out for your other purposes.

Accountants are in such demand, that the best are not even accepting clients half the time.The other problem I see often with accountants on here is that they specialize in larger investors, and have really high prices when you as a smaller investor do not need all the bells and whistles.Another thing I see is folks thinking they need to have a tax professional in their state.

It's the easiest way to try being a landlord without dealing with tricky renovation projects.

This deal would not be happening if either one of us were not apart of it in the first place, so in theory, half of that commission is mine anyway, right?

To that effect, I'm thinking of offering to cover half of the excess usage ($500 for Jan/Feb - $100 Normal Usage = $400 split in 2).
