Hi Charlie,If you intend to rent it to "Trendy's" who can afford to move elsewhere it would be smart to discuss (a lot of) noise and smell abatement with your architect.If you intend to rent it to the more shall we say, "Down and Out types" it would still be smart to discuss noise and smell abatement.Noise from frequent commercial trash pickup, odd hours deliveries, commercial bus service noise, as well as inter-unit from the commercial spaces and each other, etc....Good Luck!

I am have been grinding since 2001, but taking off 7 years, and probably the years I should have NOT taken off!

Thank you everybody for taking the time to quickly read over my post and thank you for being part of this really cool community making enough noise on the internet for me to stumble upon. 

.- 30 day min rentals (the deal breaker)- In person check-ins (additional expense or at minimum a time investment)- Noise monitoring devices required (a small expense, but this one I agree with)- Max heads in beds (although reasonable at 2 adults per room)- Posting a contact number in bold for the public to see (100% need to pay for cameras and an alarm if this one passes, that sign might as well read "rob this house").I'm all for regulation, I just hope they don't "government the crap outta this" and in an attempt to control isolated incidents, make a system overly complicated and expensive, therefore no longer profitable to the small guy.

Haha definitely not ready to get married just to make our rent collection and future taxes less of a hassle, but essentially we would like the rental income to be received "on the record" to both of us, if not instead something like an LLC.So you're ready to live together and run your real estate business together, but marriage...it's just too soon.You know those horror movies where Brad and his girlfriend hear the grunting noise in the barn and decide to go investigate together?

It hasn’t worked and they get woken up every night around 3am with animal noises in the attic.

(i.e. pollution level, noise level,etc)2.

It can be a grind but you learn a ton and the truth be told is if you develop the skills to find a good deal its just a matter of time for your capital to grow to where you can make other plays.

Of course, they are never fun and can be more difficult to provide proof of noise, parties, drug activities, etc.

I've also bought a couple as rentals outright, but generally turn primaries into rentals when I move because I end up not liking a place after a while (noise, crime, neighbors, etc.)So I found a place.
