., the new RI rental registry and associated lead paint inspections/certificates).It's up to you whether you're able to do it, but I think you'll get a lot out of the experience if you can try it for a year or two.

I’ve already put down a $2,000 earnest deposit and paid for the inspection and appraisal.This event is unprecedented in the area, as the area is typically low in violence and considered very safe.

During inspection they found me at fault and withheld rent for 2 months (that's how long it took to re-inspect).

The reason is the rent-to-price ratio is good so you can cash flow, and most of the West side doesn’t have a Point of sale inspection which is really annoying.

@Alex Houser You need more numbers and a proper inspection to justify the price. 

And how do I roll this into a cheaper mortgage (my dti would be too bad for another conventional).Maybe a lender would be able to consider the electric "working" with the proper inspection?

Half of the PM's down here can't read contracts, don't know how to inspect a property for damage, etc. - they just use whatever contractor is giving them the most free stuff at the time.  

Inspect immediately to verify.

Typically the construction permit expires if there is no inspection for six months (you may want to confirm this with your building department).If you let the ADU become unpermitted and turn around and pull a new permit to legalize it and wrap up the construction, technically it's now a new permit which falls in the 2020-2025 period.

Swimming pool filled with wooden marbles, and here I come and I throw 3 steel marbles inside the pool and mix it up real good.Then I will tell you this: "Your mission is to find me the 3 steel balls".Now this is what you all are doing.You plant your butt next to the pool with your legs in the wooden marbles, you pick one bacll, inspect it, is it a steel ball?
