Also, in general, I wouldn't solely rely on a single source, rather: 1) collect feedback from various sources, 2) decide which components are the most critical for you personally, 3) weigh in on the pros and cons, 4) speak with all of the operators to add to the list of pros and cons, 5) and only then make an informed decision. 

In a few of the states there is either a form. you must sign or an application that your escrow closer must file in order to exempt from any state taxes or withholdings that might normally be collected at sale . 

If you're going to work with contractors, collect rent from tenants, or try to bed the hot chick at the bar, you better learn to recognize warning signs and get out early. 

The state doesn’t have rent control laws, but landlords are prohibited from collecting more than one month’s rent for security deposits.

If you just handled it on your own/contractor self-mitigation, you would need to have some proof it was handled.

I refer to Sb13 and ab2533 as proof that the state legislature wants safe unpermitted units to be occupied.  

Shoe collection and wardrobe that's way beyond what my budget affords. 

For example:Current rental unit: you collect $2500 in rent.

If so, then I would return the portion of the security deposit to the one leaving and collect that same amount from the one staying. 

You're going to have a hard time billing the tenants without proof.
