- If you are a good landlord you are helping those who are normally looked down upon and normally have to deal with bad landlords just to have a roof over their head.  

I was just thinking, as a realtor, I will sometimes just drive through neighborhoods that I like and sometimes, I will see a Pods container or a moving truck, or people working - If I see that, I will normally go knock on the door and introduce myself to see if they are making a move or not.

If they aren't actually filed, there is no way to recoup money through the normal mechanisms. 

City staff normally has a good expertise on these issues and are helpful in my experience.

Don't buy it - it's a normal marketing trick to get your listing.If he'd had a buyer- he'd try first to negotiate his commission.

They are normal to think about, but these kind of questions are going to give you limited beliefs and prevent you from moving forward on a potentially great property.

@Tanya Maslach try Padsplit.Only other option is to try to "bribe" a PMC to TRY it by offering to pay them more than their normal charges.Managing a Boarding House (room-by-room rental) is not as easy as owners think.

This is totally normal for investors.

Much preferred over normal size homes.

Hi Kris,Unless the sellers are really cooperative, it honestly sounds easier to just do a normal offer and flip/BRRRR using cash or hard money.
