Some things you can do is charge a flat rate and cover the difference or call the utility company and get a 12 month average and make that a part of the rents.3: Personally I don't believe in furnishing or supplying anything for my rentals because my market simply doesn't call for it.4: Depending on your area and what the replacement cost for that building is, inflation can effect your policy differently, for this one I would call your provider and ask.5: Common areas much like an HOA would charge, put a common element/area clause in the lease stating the tenant is responsible for a percentage of costs for upkeep of common areas.6: This may depend on state laws, but I would look into if your area requires ADA compliant signage but if you wanted to put a no smoking sign so long as it's stipulated in the lease then it's your call.7: You can't always do much about guests so long as they don't stay indefinitely or cause a danger to other tenants.

I have seen quite a few SFH in our area placed in such converted homes; you would have to build in the upfit costs into the loan, but if the property is in overall good shape, a few cosmetic and ADA compliance touch-ups, with some interior modifications (mostly plumbing) could work.

Ethical dilemma- super dirty unit, but the guy is disabled.Evict?
24 July 2016 | 28 replies
You'll earn a lot of respect from a lot of people rather than earning their disdain for simply evicting him because of his needs (check with your attorney, also - may be an ADA violation).Some may disagree saying, "It's just business".
