If you can find a precedent, that could bolster your argument significantly.Lean on the Physical Details: Four mailboxes, four sewer lines-those are big indicators that the property has been treated as a four-unit for some time.

@Steven Hamilton II I want to mention that My husband and I both reside in California, and I manage the property remotely from California via Zoom calls, and also physically visits the property.

If im out of state, does it make sense to join social media groups, etc. to accomplish the same thing without being physically there? 

Tax benefits, use of leverage, and a physical asset that you can see and touch.

I actually have a fee in my lease if a tenant wants me to physically pick up a payment.

If that is the path moving forward we will be left without a home as of 9/21/24 which will create incredible financial, mental, and physical stress on our part.

You must keep the tenants security deposit at a bank that physically operates a branch office in the State of NC.  

This is ideal for those taking their first steps in Spain or needing to establish a presence without having a physical office.If the goal is to link an SL with a holding or manage dividends, then yes, it’s essential to ensure the legal structure is well-defined and compliant with the relevant regulations.

@Carini Rochester I agree with Greg but to be clear Good Cause does not require a landlord to provide free housing, it just forces them go through the onerous and expensive and lengthy process of actually going for non payment eviction instead of a hold over proceeding, when the landlord knows that a monetary judgement is worthless and just wants possession of their rental unit back so they can fix it back up and rent it again hopefully to a great tenant.Also the problem with all this is that from 2019 to now, landlords have gotten used to having economically or physically vacant units and have priced that risk in. 

I look for liens that will be removed or that may stay, ownership history, platting, zoning, exit strategies, cost & profit analyses, and above all else; I physically look over the property.
