If there were a serious insurance claim, god forbid human injury or loss of life, and they do the same research discovering the non-conforming construction of habitable space, why would they bail you out?

I do agree that having a clear timeline and budget is vital and am actively doing my due diligence with researching that subject.

I wanted to add that the best way to attend meetups is to make it a habit.

This definitely isn't a habit that you want to get yourself into as it can for sure be seen as bad business.

Another service we provide is called an "Either/Or" - EITHER the property is Lead-Free (no positive lead-paint components) OR there are positive lead-paint components identified but still safe/habitable lead levels to reside within said unit. 

@Alecia Loveless, I agree for a cosmetic issue not affecting habitability isn't anything that needs to be addressed immediately.

You upgrading the property, thus increasing the value which in turn could push out the current tenants, contributes to the vitality of that free market, a market that gives the tenants alternative options. 

Make a habit of doing this DAILY. 

Many older homes were built without closets.From appraisal today:"The Code refers to "habitable rooms" not bedroomsThe essence of the 2015 International Residential Code is that the code does not specifically use the term bedroom, but refers to all habit- able areas of a home.

Set goals and habits.
