Beware of fines, egress routes in case of fire and other general headaches regarding quality of workmanship in the illegal apartment.Using my personal spreadsheet, with 20% down, a 3% rate and 2 apartments @ $2345 (assuming 2 bed/1 bath), looks like a negative cashflow of around $-200. 

If so, the quality of the low income tenants could be decreasing over time.

Also be aware that the replacement may be lower quality.

I've come to realize just how important it is to consistently grow your list of quality contractors.
