If they don’t, the property will officially be mine forever after.

Or do you lose the investment and potentially put a smear on your reputation by reporting them to the authorities?

To start, you will need to confirm the proposed enlargement complies with the zoning designation of the area, code compliance, survey, and file plans with the Authority having Jurisdiction in your area.

I have two words for all of you and I'm shocked they haven't been mentioned yet.SECTION 8 If you are in an area where your housing authority supports Section 8 this is the best opportunity to have success with investing in the ghetto.  

Section 8 has standards and you can pull a "Common Failed Items List" from the Augusta Housing Authority website.  

With a refi, there is no target number to aim for, so its good to provide that, but just be sure to present it in a way that does not take away the authority of the appraiser, I have had some appraisers that reacted offended (They are also under a lot of legal scrutiny since the 2009 mortgage crisis).

If your tenants stream pirated movies, post illegal content or engage in illicit online business, you will be the first point of contact from the cable company or authorities. 

I have been working toward that for some time and I am 80K from that point (80K balance on rec property) My investments are all cash flowed very well so I do not include that as my debt even though officially I guess it is.I have the ability to pay off all my investment properties 100% in the next 1.5 years.

They only way they get away with such crap is because customers don't question their supposed authority on the topic.
