@Grant SchroederThis buyer out to close seems to always be an issue and has only been worse since COVID.

Short term...I think this can be an excellent way to make extra income with a rental.

I am about to turn my primary residence into a rental and I am trying to decide the best way to ensure HVAC maintenance given that doing it myself will not be an option.

Unfortunately for your business this may not be an option for you as the properties we're looking at are 150 units or more.

Things I imagine will be an issue:- City approval as house is currently a legal duplex- City may force me to rent it as a single family home right away- Parking - another car park may be needed to get approval from council but I've heard exceptions can be made- Entire project going over estimate by a lot- Not being able to get financing then having to turn it into a single family home rental which won't cash flow so well.Geez, writing it up like that makes it sound like a terrible idea! 

Hit me up if you would like to grab a coffee or something anytime.

The work may not even “qualify” for a lien...here the work has to be an “improvement” to the property.

I toured a mix used building with a coffee shop on the first floor that also sold unmentionable intimate products.  

That would have to be an independent decision you’d have to make on your own w/knowledge of their personalities.

I was reading that Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac have specific requirements for refi when it comes to condos, and one of them is that it can't be an investment security, which the site said was an investment condo.
