You are taking over for someone who didn't care at all about the rules and you want the city to just be like, "yeah, this is fine"?

I’d be very careful about who you replace this tenant with. 

Higher-quality areas attract tenants who are more reliable and tend to take better care of the property.

Nobody will take better care of your property than yourself and nobody will be as invested into as yourself. 

Before finalizing a decision to sell, I thought I’d get some thoughts from the BP forumThe only obvious factor I know to try to head off a problem is to carefully screen applicants.

Thanks for the care and detail you put into your posts on self storage.

Fannie/Freddie do NOT care if you transfer your property to your LLC. 

The nicer areas are already charging a premium so be careful. 

However, you must take care of the reason why it's happening.  9 times out of 10, it's a leaky pipe behind the wall or a humidity issue.

The key difference, though, was he spent months carefully getting to know the local architecs, reputable builders, and even a couple of niche design firms that specialize in modern builds for mid- to high-end buyers.
