Please bear with me as I am navigating this for the first time but don't want to be caught in the crosshairs and still protect myself and the property.Thanks in advance for your help.

I really am not trying to poke the bear.

Because households are smaller today vs 20 yrs ago due to delay in marriage and child bearing smaller units are in more demand because of need and affordability.   

You can check your building department, but sometimes you don’t need a permit for non load bearing walls.

If so, do they both go into interest-bearing vehicles?

And ALSO...I still want to see what they define as "Marketing a property".If I organize a BBQ party with all my friends that so happen to be on my buyer's list and during a bear dad joke I say " Ohh btw guys, I just locked up a contract want to see it?" 

However, I bear no responsibility for your damages as they were directly caused by your negligent actions.Sincerely,LandlordPS: Your rent will be going up due to this!!

Might be able to get a contract with the buyer of the cherries and thow some cash at you upfront for signing a agreement to buy the crop but I don't know what the alternate bearing looks like on Cherries in Washington and the brokers may not be willing to pay upfront in that area... or a upfront lease payment from the renter... 

When you study this area in economic texts and in academic papers, there is quite a lot of govt intervention on behalf of all sides (tax code isn't 12,000 pages for no reason and it usually isn't helping the renters)Let The free market act as it normally does, there are more multifamily units coming online this year and next year than ever before in US history, despite rising insurance and property taxes and construction and labor costs, as the potential for profit is too juicy to ignore, but The developers and investors also bear the risk of loss.

Single story so you don't have to worry as much about load bearing and weight.
