If their opinion doesn't make sense, then you could lay out your full business and tax scenario here for more opinions.  

That or have him sign a lease that says if for any reason you have to evict him (and lay out terms such as police visits to the property, complaints from neighbors, etc.) that he is not entitled to a refund of any rents.My sister had a similar guy renting from her and all was good until the SWAT Team showed up.

Does it make sense on the west coast IN PDX they sure are building a ton of it.. last 3 years.I own some land...I got a use permit to build 46 units on it and I also own the land across the street that I just had a preliminary layout drawn for 160 units.

If 1 bathroom that's not good, you're trying to rent a 3/1 and it should be significantly discounted as anyone with three people will expect 1 bathrooms.If 3/2 good, but rooms need to be at least normal size, not unusually small and layout needs to be decent (not weird).If 1 bathroom or unusually small rooms, you should significantly discount your rate to attract decent prospects. 

As an aside - some reconfiguration of windows would be beneficial for reworking the layout of the interior of the units.

Not ideal for a flip but if you have flexibility on layout you can sometimes find a deal on recycled showroom cabinets at greendemolitions in fairfield.

I’m not telling you to use these methods, but if you can’t afford to lay out 12k cash for an investment you probably shouldn’t be doing it.

In my post a few days ago regarding my 4-plex in Kitimat is a good example that I will lay out here: I live in Fort St John, BC, for work, but I invest in developing communities.

We are struggling with determining the layout of the upstairs unit that would allow us to optimize rental income without jeopardizing too many college students with a very small living room.

Wouldn't want to layout all that money then find out there's little advantage to be gained by setting up a corporate structure for our situation.
