This would probably require a significant hair cut to make it attractive but would end up with the same scenario as #2 - the ability to complete a full exchange.

They told me labor cost is more in mid-west than in CA - at which point I couldn't stop myself from pulling my hairs.

I keep getting told that costs too much, but I would affirm, if the loss of cash flow to properly finance the risk of your endeavors is too high, then it’s probably not a good deal, and look for a better deal.

New layouts, moving walls or god forbid an addition...you’ll tear your hair out with SF’s nutty city approvals, and your neighbors will be all in your business if you’re increasing the size of the home. 

I'm more the type of person that needs affirmation (good or bad), just thought it be worth throwing out to people that have either thought of this or physically experienced it.Once again.ThanksAlan

They are generally run by grey haired busy bodies and control freaks who have no understanding of their own rules or the law that governs them. 

And if the community is small enough, go old school and ask to put up flyers at local businesses; nail and hair salons, coffee shops, grocery bulletin boards, etc.

Affirmative evidence of efficacy only, please.My guess is there will not be many replies to this thread with actual success stories, and if there are any, most of them will be in the "my liability insurance paid the claim" category. 

Pitbulls are quiet dogs, and they  are short haired and not as messy as  say a cocker spaniel.... you get my point. but once again Dan thanks for renting to pets period...... 

Pleasant (Near Charleston, SC) getting my hair cut today.
