Is there a dining room that could be turned into a bedroom without disrupting the functionality of the house?  

Math cant discriminate.Attached is a visual of the equation I mentioned (click on it to enlarge).

The unit is currently in deplorable condition, including 40-plus-year-old windows and a non-functioning furnace.

on our lease, we have a section that tenant has to initial that smoke detectors are there and functioning. 

@Bill Gulley  I would argue that my BS meter was on and functioning well when this strategy came across my desk!

@Paul Kessenich- in Nashville, the target market for these larger home is bachelor/bachelorette parties and other larger social functions (reunions, weddings)That is another degree of risk for long term.

I also look forward to offering any advice or feedback in areas of home renovation, design and function, where I am knowledgable.

@Chris McMahon have you tried the "Meet" function on the site to look for members in your area?

Hey Account Closed,When I'm deciding whether to even offer on a property, I look at MLS, Zillow, Craigslist and Rentometer.CL has a map function that allows you to drill down into the specific area you're looking at.I've developed relationships with few property managers in the area, and I call them as well.  

Rules are generally very detailed and relate to every regulated activity and function.
