Question 2: Where can I find state or city regulations regarding tree maintenance when the lease is written with gray areas?

He has not.Is it appropriate to call/text once a day?

If you need any connections/boots-on-the- ground stuff doing in NH, happy to asist if appropriate.

I was looking into the cities regulations and it seems like mid term rentals would work.

Be aware of any local regulations in Emeryville as well.Please make sure your 4plex isn't exempt from AB 1482.

The regulations in Chicago can be quite overwhelming, so I’m looking forward to exploring the opportunities in this area. 

Your definition is correct for "legal non-conforming".The "legal" part of "non-conforming" is dropped when it doesn't apply so most commonly people call these units "non-conforming", "finished", "in-law suite/unit", or "bonus unit".Non-conforming: Any property that doesn't meet current zoning requirements.Legal non-conforming: A non-conforming property that was lawfully established under previous zoning regulations and is allowed to continue its use.Based on his posts @Mario Morales is referring to a non-conforming unit.

Use some for buy and hold (I personally would prefer apartments rather than buying a few single family homes) and some for lending/trust deed investing.In either category, you must know what you are doing, know how to vet the investment, how to vet the sponsor (if investing in a larger fund of some sort), the laws and regulations on the lending side, how to investigate which areas to invest in buy and hold and notes/trust deeds for that matter.So as you have already said several times, lots to think about . . . 

We've found it has superior reporting features, integration features, and is overall more efficient to work within than other REI-specific software.The downside is QBO is not set up for REI so you'll need to do that or work with an expert to ensure it is set up for your business appropriately.

But properties priced and marketed appropriately can still go under contract in a matter of days.
