For example, what town is this because different towns have different rent control laws and if you have violated any of the rent control law they might be legally entitled to a reduction.

They have:- kept a ferret without a deposit or approval- just put a hole in the wall- painted all the bedrooms ridiculous colors- Havent oaid their trash bill in over 3 years- replaced all the ceiling fans and did the electrical themselves (without a license)And multiple other things.

I have statements from his old contractors  telling how much the contractor still owes us, but didn’t know if that was enough to pursue legal action.

Hi Natalie,You'll definitely maximize value if you can get the permits approved on your own. 

However, since were moving we wont necessarily have any W-2's so I'm worried about getting loan approval.

I am trying to acquire more properties for my portfolio, but the banks will not give me a pre-approval for a loan with any of my units vacant.

Without that your loan will not be approved.

You should be able to get approval for minimum 80% of your equity. 

Market dictates.Is it a legal apartment or a mother in law suite.

I planned on getting approved for a loan this week until I was recently informed by a manager I could receive additional hours within ~ 1 month.These hours would provide additional income of ~$520 per month BEFORE taxes.
