If your siding is overlapping, it will make this difficult, but you wouldn’t necessarily add a vapor barrier to the outside of your house with your climate.

I went to the house yesterday to take some measurements and look at a few things I want to change up in my unit and was talking to the tenant as I saw him outside he wanted to show me a few things he needs done in his apartment 1.

I have seen a few listings in the past of investors selling short term rentals they have built in locations outside of the United States.

Does anyone have any experience using any outside vendors for screening.

I think I’m outside public water. 

Inspector states it appears from the outside that the dryer and/or bathrooms may vent into the attic space and not to outside; Vents for this are currently too few and the wrong type. 

I don't believe zoning will be an issue due to the city's apparent willingness to work with the investor.My main question is surrounding what legally needs to be done to turn this into an assisted living facility (outside of ADA building code compliance and zoning)1. 

If you were in MA I would be open to partnering up on the first few deals but unfortunately, I'm not looking to expand outside of Massachusetts. 

Then if you end up needing to purchase that property for cash you can always add those outside proceeds to the 1031 proceeds at that time.You're absolutely right about lenders not lending without a CO. 

I spoke with a traditional lender the other day from Total Mortgage who said it would be difficult for me to get any kind of financing outside of a traditional 20-25% down investment loan, because I don't have a credible reason to be buying another multi-family outside of investing purposes.What is the simplest way to make a second purchase utilizing the 203k loan program without running into issues in underwriting?
