@David Randolph - my use of the word "threatened" is in regards to the statements made by, as at the time I understood it to be, the real estate agent negotiating the sale to inform me that I could be sued and a lien placed because I was refusing to sell, which would mean that either I agree to sell and put my children on the street or I refuse and they will sue to take possession and I would still put my children on the street, I took that as a threat to the well being and safety of my children, legally it may not be a threat, ethically and morally, it is to me.

NSPIRE inspections will more accurately reflect the true physical conditions of properties and ensure that property owners adopt sound maintenance practices to eliminate health and safety hazards that may pose a threat to residents.

If you have decent credit (north of 680), you should be able to get 75% loan to value, assuming the DSCR is met (usually a 1 to 1 measurement between the PITI and the Gross Monthly Rental Amount).

I know it's not as bad as some of the other stories I've read (like barking all night), but am I crazy in thinking that is clearly a violation of standard noise clauses by any reasonable measure? 

My concern is whether the city could deny permits for these modifications, such as removing walls or converting a garage, or if they are mainly just concerned with safety and habitability.

This is a great place to invest for safety and appreciation.

The brick construction is a plus for durability, but check for any signs of foundation issues, especially if the property has settled over the years.Be sure to budget for updates to key systems—plumbing and electrical upgrades can be pricey but crucial for tenant safety and modern functionality.

Hi investors,Would greatly appreciate your advice on how to measure if there's enough rental demand in a town. 

.- What measures can landlords take to ensure protection while renting, and what steps should be considered prior to seeking a tenant?

For example FHA guidelines say you can deny an ESA if they cause an undue financial burden, cause a direct threat to the health and safety of others (the letter from the neighbor supports this), or cause substantial physical damage to the property.
