Even on conventional renovation loans, most lenders and borrowers still use Certified 203k Contractors b/c the guidelines/timelines/rules/processes are almost identical. 

It seems like the tenant is being respectful, following the rules, and is not being a problem so I think that is what you would tell any other tenants who ask, as long as you have seen the card.

Quote from @Makani Donaldson: From what I understand, different islands or cities have different rules, and they are getting stricter.

Asking in the correct forum will get a better response.Read the RULES!

We pulled every trick in the book, and the odor remains.Another issue is that when tenants violate one rule, they tend to violate more.

This is the reason homes are so much cheaper than cost to build.

Ok, but I mean is it against the rules?

I had to live in the property due to the FHA occupancy rules, so I had about an hour and 15 minute commute to work every day.I settled on Tilton (small town in central NH) because the property was right and it cash flowed very well, and was quite cheap (at the time... 240k), I could get the loan to get into the building and own 4 units.

Homeowners, your tenants ARE RESPONSIBLE IF THEY VIOLATE SANITATION RULES, phone 311 to report them.Dont let nwo mafffia dictate otherwise.
