With regular rent payments coming in, you'll soon put this hiccup in the rear view mirror.Greg

Also, in the back of the house, there are missing shakes.I had intended to get the exterior painted in order to brighten up the appearance and blend in the new shakes I need to add in the rear.  

. :-)I once rented to a guy with visible scary looking tatoos and a small fake skull hanging from his car rear view mirror.

The appraiser came out the first time and said 1. mold test for bathroom. 2. vent needed in bath(bought/installed a vented window. 3. rear door frame replace. 4. install handrail in basement staircase.  

In some of them the front seats can turn around and face the rear.

Adding more units on a lot of course makes it more difficult to fit everything so the state incentivizes developers by allowing reduced parking and other variations (for instance reducing a rear yard setback from 15' to 10') to make the project work.My advice would be to go to the Santee planning department and speak with a planner about your ideas for the property.  

Along the entire rear of the house there was water intrusion.

Of all the things to cut corners on, I wouldn't do it on paperwork that may one day save your rear end in a courtroom.

You pay assn fees, which will continue to increase AND if you own them long enuff, you will see the wildcard- "special assessments" rear its' ugly head.

Rear one works out OK...cash each month.Front one, she moves in April 1, and I give keys, etc.
