Additionally, for a license are you required to have egress windows?

F meaning you won't roll down your windows and that you'll probably be repurchasing your rehab materials several times during the process.

@Eric Harris  This is not  the loan to rehab the property with as that needs cash draws and an exit strategy --- Those get priced as a construction loan and are short term.This loan is the exit strategy to a rehab project - as the loan based on rental income....and a stable lease...not a vacant shell with all the windows broken outTo get a REHAB interest only loan .... will be a short term 12 month or less loan interest only at 10%+ rates....and your skin in the game will be needed to acquire and fix the property.We have a lender that does both --- and that saves $ on the costs as the same final appraisal is used and only one underwrite...but these are two different kinds of loans....with very different terms...The costs of the rehab loan drops with each finished rehab completed....as experience and track record are rewarded.

With a new 180 day window you can postpone the sale of the old property to get a little more appreciation or capture top dollar.  

It has a good roof on it and looks to be in good shape inside just peeking through the windows.

Apparently the county doesn't let people "in the back" but have to go to a window and makes a request to a clerk behind the glass.

Like it or not, I'm going to go out of my way to make the guy with tons of work happier than the guy that wants one window installed for $50 and never calls me again.If you can build that kind of relationship with a contractor, you won't have to worry about ever having the conversation again.

For large windows, consider two or three smaller ones rather than one large one.

I checked, there were no windows for me to sneak out of, so I decided to stay.

T1-11 siding and vinyl windows will make a unit look new BUT adds a lot of cost, as well as time, to a project.
