Sometimes emails go to spam and simply some people just don't check their email religiously like the rest of us.

The bullet in the response that is standing out to me is:"(7) The accessory dwelling shall not be a short-term residential rental, as defined by City Code section 3-2-152(a)(2), for a period exceeding 120 days per calendar year."

If you are willing to do this over a long period of time, this can be a great strategy, especially in a low-inventory market.

Then the rest of the time, the net income goes 50% reserves, 50% towards 2nd rental property.

It can take up to three days to serve, then you can file in court after the 3-day period. 

But, if you do evict AND they request a hearing then the judge MAY interrupt the partial payment as acceptance of rent and therefore you would have to start the process over at the beginning of the next payment period.

If you engage with tenant drama all the time you'll be doing that 24/7 for the rest of your life.

So do I and the rest of us.

At times, the seller may back out, we may uncover bad things about the property during the due diligence period which will cause us to back out of the deal, or financing may fall through.What makes it even worse, we, as investors, may incur some soft costs (costs incurred prior to closing) which end up being sunk costs.However, as investors, we are relentless in our pursuit of cash-flow.

I think this removes the mortgage from your DTI, but there may be a waiting period.
