I attend one in Frederick which is online right now. 

I know this is a differing topic on the forums, and online in general, but having the legal background/education and knowing estate planning concepts you'll realize it shouldn't be.  

I was seeing information online that suggested both routes...Thanks in advance for the help!

After some research online, I am reading that the cost per square foot on a gut renovation of this nature in Stamford CT is anywhere from $150-$350, which is ultimately not very helpful, because at $150 per sq ft, this is a very appealing project with a total profit of ~$175K (46% ROI) and at $350 per sq ft, it very much isn't, because it would be a net loss of 83K (haha).QUESTIONS:What can I do refine my estimate a bit given that I am not allowed to a formal inspection on the property? 

If it is a emotional support dog (basically a pet with papers they buy online, mostly to find a way to get a pet into a rental), ask for documentation from a local medical professional (NOT anything online). 

it is already the 6th day of the month, and most of our tenants made the on time rental payment on the 1st.we am copying our attorney soon and will report to the police department for lost $49,987.00 tenant rental income.So far we have called your customer services and online chat but nobody is answering.

Unfortunately, while all the online places area great sources of information, you are much less likely to take action, or find someone to shadow, when online in a forum. 

But damned if I can find anything online about landlords using it!

It will be easy for you to check if they paid on time, as you can check instantly online.
