It's not automatic but if you have a good payment record and the comps support the value it shouldn't be a problem, people get it taken off all the time.3.

I'm expecting very little in terms of support which I don't think will be an issue.

As for the other items it really depends, does the area demand better fit and finish, do market rents support the expenditure?

I'm considering converting it into an ADU for additional rent.Does any one have any advise on 1) is this supported by the area if you're familiar with the market, 2) any special warnings or things to check before I place an offer. 

Again you need a good consultant for this, if your architect is not familiar with the 'politics' of the City, then you need to hire someone that is to support the architect in this. 

I later on got my own business and worked at a non profit, along side people under collections and had good reason not to be found.One guy fathered a child 16 years before, owed child support for 16 years, never paid.

Thanks everyone for the support! 

On election day, I asked a guy in the park who he was supporting and he told me Sheila Dixon.

I'm aware it is less passive than other strategies.I hope that over time as I learn markets and get a few deals under my belt, I will be able to find a team that can support other options like BRRRR/wholesaling/fix-flip that are less onerous that without the team. 

The big question is should I be looking harder where I think we will ultimately end up or should I just be present and get a few under my belt here where I don't have as much long distance heartache and where I have a support network?
