Thank you Jill, I did explain when this occurred and slowly is getting better.

And breaking it into multiple transactions like @Jacqueline Gardiner said will let you maximize sales price.This hybrid approach (having some free and clear and having others leveraged) gives you a lot of safety net as the paid off properties are out of harms way from debt risk. 

NOTE - if you do not have documentation of how the unit was WHEN they moved in, at best you can deduct for damage that occurred after your purchase / baseline inspection that you’ve documented.

We discovered this vulnerability in time to take action without any significant harm & listed a property we could be proud of.

Certainly, because I don't want to evict someone who can't pay, because their "room-mates" moved out 3-months into the terms of the lease.If I go by first-come first-serve, where the first qualified applicant gets the property, I'm afraid such a 5-person situation could occur next time I need to find tenants.Is it possible to pick the cream of the crop?

But if you’re planning one property a year, there’s no harm in waiting 12 months.

I would just make sure you're following through with any lease violations if they do occur.

In the event You violate this Non-Disparagement portion of the Agreement, due to the fact that such disparagement can cause lasting and irreparable harm, You shall owe FLIPSTER a minimum of $50,000 as an initial penalty or $10,000 per person who reads or is otherwise exposed to such disparagement (whichever is greater) in addition to any other damages FLIPSTER may have incurred in costs or damage to its reputation and/or goodwill including all costs of enforcing the terms of this Agreement.

Is there any harm to pulling a permit mid project other than having to admit that you started without the permit?

It's important to note that while there are thousands and thousands of species of mold, only a very few are actually harmful to humans.
