Real estate is a very cash intensive business and the aspects where little money is involved is not only risky but usually ends up in activities that are either unethical or against a contract.If you get approval from a landlord to notify them of your intentions, then there is nothing wrong with it, just be aware a landlord can go after you and garnish your wages should you not pay the rent trying to run a business out of their rental.This is not a path I would recommend a newbie take in real estate.
