While they have a right to be present, they can sabotage the showing, talking about their issues with other tenants or neighbors, wasting everyone’s time.

As it stands now, I am going to renovate the apartments, the tenants will pay me and I will communicate with them directly about all issues with the property etc.

The main issue that would scare away buyers is that there is a lot of debris (couches, household contents, ect.) that have been basically thrown in a pile in the front of the house.

I've been looking for some rules around this issue but it's very vague.  

The only thing missing is action.You'll learn 20x more by taking action than by reading a book or listening to a podcast which are always general knowledge that gets repeated over and over.Once you dive in you will start to come across specific issues and problems you didn't even know existed!

I'm looking at the protocol to register and then have the safety and lead risk inspections, fix any issues and ultimately get the certificate of compliance for 3 years, then repeat.

I'm interested in starting a distribution center in my warehouse.

The biggest issue we are running into at the moment is finding a profitable multi-family unit and how to fund it.

Investigate rental revenue prospects, market trends, vacancy rates, and regulatory issues in possible investment locations second.

That's your problem.One answer is to dissolve the entity and distribute the properties to each partner as tenants in common (you could give a property to each, or you could each be 50-50 on every property - all depends on how you and your accountant want to set it up).
