No, the training isn't free but neither is any other kind of training.  

Do current tenants have a say in deciding if the landlord will be allowed for this conversion or no? 

New year, new laws (Senate bills 205, 206 & 207).Effective January 2, 2025, Michigan landlords can no longer consider a tenant's source of income when screening them. 

No decision yet, but it's looking good for the investor, as they were able to find about 20 other houses in the area that have been operated as STRs for years with no complaints.

No chance I can be finished with the house by then.

It's no different than their 2-year, low interest rate teaser houses.

I am no way affiliated or benefit from these referrals, just like to pass along good business!    

I imagined that to mean that a 1920 home with no renovations would cost more to insure than one updated to 2024 specifications.Is this something that is just "known" to flippers/renovators and I am just coming across it?

If you spend the entire $300k restoring the property, then here is the end result:- deductible casualty loss of $50k- no current tax- the restored property has $0 basis and cannot be depreciated- when it is later sold, the entire sale price is taxableMechanics and reporting are tricky, and I would not recommend to DIY it, especially since my scenario is over-simplified, and your real scenario is likely to involve more gotchas.Thanks so much.
