Further, you can also place "reasonable" restrictions on the animals, including the requirement of a recent veterinarian report on the health and vaccine status, with annual updates; must be spayed or neutered unless contraindicated by veterinarian; must be in a carrier or on a leash (unless this prevents them performing their service or task) in common areas,especially elevators, stairways, and other areas where people would be in confined spaces; must clean up after the animal properly in common areas; offensive odors must not emanate from the residence; aggressive or nuisance behavior (such as extended periods of barking NOT related to the service or task they provide) can be prohibited, and potentially grounds for removing the animal and/or the resident; animal must have a chip or collar with owner's identifying/contact information; must have appropriate city/county license if required locally; and photos of the animal for your records.A thorough and clear policy will deter many of those that are less than sincere from applying when they are made aware of the policy details early in the process...like at the viewing, and mention of the policy in ads.

Adu's can be attached to a primary residence. we have done these that have an access into the main house(from the owner side only) and have an exterior stairway that can be used as a seperate rental/str etc. so long as it is allowed. 

A Stairway 8% savings account isn't an investment that you exit.

Parts I'm having a very hard time with... to paint the unit along with a very small wooden stairway leading to the front door, maybe 4-5 feet wide and 3 steps, they want over 2k.

The building we are buying for $125,000 and the lofts I would like to make 2 studios approximately 500 sf each with an enclosed stairway keyless keypad for the steps, small deck for each loft that looks unto the street.Financing?  

Is there some kind of stairway under the dais?

Plus, if you block of the top of the stairs with a door, you probably lose heat in the stairway, which might not be ideal.

.-- Steep stairway (same as above).Monsters under the beds or in the closets (well that's another whole thing).

If you have one apartment with a kid under 6, you'll need to delead that apt and the common areas that family will use, so the laundry room, common hallways/stairways that they need to walk through(*), and the exterior.

I never actually saw the original applicant again after lease and keys....the actual tenant was a stone cold gangster pimp(not to be confused with the suave type pimp) and had his girl turning tricks in the apartment, he had numerous confrontations with tricks that resulted in fights in the common areas and one time a big hole smashed in the wall of one of the stairway landings that was from him throwing a guy down the stairs.
