You can usually get this for the project's life then switch back to renters/normal if needed.

Your questions are fine, but I would be more worried about the asset and the future cap ex than the renters in general.

I've found that renters feel uncomfortable with a bunch of competition-and it's hard to get them they attention they deserve in that situation.  

You won't be able to get the renters' names, but you can look up the unit numbers by putting in the main address into the tax records and it will show all the apartment numbers at that address.

However, there are no actual renters portal or maintenance submission forms - rent collection is straightforward.

Always get permits for conversions and be cognizant of the experience renters will have in your home.

I have a list of renters as well.

The property manager informed me 3 days late and said that he doesn't have renters insurance and we will ask him to pay extra per month.

Found a long term renter through Roomies.com which pays $800/mo. for a 10x10 room.

Quote from @Christian Gibbs: If you can't find long-term tenants in the winter, you even less likely to find short-term renters.
