(Tenants are still in the home.)Fast forward to today, and I've planned to go visit the property and the PM is refusing to give me keys to my own house!

your lease should state that tebabts must keep all utilities current, so gove them a notice to cure or vacate

Unless you built the property yourself and have all the invoices it's quite difficult to segregate costs since everything must be reconciled to the total cost. 

Is everything changed to your name through the deed/title, or is there separate paper work that must be completed

The lease terms must be over 30 years but less than 99.A master lease has some of these aspects, but does not have the advantages of NNN leases where you can get a mortgage on it as it's treated as real estate.I know an investor who does these deals in NY who targets owners owning properties for a long time, don't want to sell due to capital gains, too old to manage the properties.

I am an eviction attorney in Illinois, NOT Kentucky.That being said, in Illinois anyone who has "established residency" must be evicted, you cannot just tell them to leave.

House hacking is especially a good choice for new Investors but if you are going this route, you must first decide where it is you want to live. 

In your experience, what are 3 "MUST ask questions" when interviewing a Hard Money Lender to fund your project???

I must also mention I did actually add the addresses into the Wayne county system they came up blank these Apts been Abandoned 

However, there often seems to be a disconnect between seller and purchasing investors.Although many investors know and understand that a prospective investment property must be at least 75%-80% tenanted when utilizing any type of financing for the purchase (esp. hard money).
