If you're living in it now, you'll probably be required to have a signed lease in place as well as proof that first month's rent/security deposit were collected in order to get a DSCR loan (they're business purpose loans and don't allow owner occupancy).

Hi, I was wondering if I can get any current advice if it is worth converting a regular fireplace into a gas fireplace.

A property manager can be a great asset for regular check-ins and updates.

This is the exact same approach we are taking - information has gone out a few times in our newsletters over the last year and a half, with more details available upon request, along with FYIs to clients at year end or other regular meetings. 

The vast majority of lawsuits against Landlords are for wrongful eviction, security deposit disputes, and Fair Housing Violations.

What ********.1) spent $250 for 60 days notice of termination to tenant back in July (stating owner will move back in October and take house off the rental market; within the laws and does not violate covid non-payment); also tenant rekeyed house back in April, in direction violation of lease agreement2) October comes and tenant still there, providing statement of covid hardship and states she doesn't have the financial means to move and will be staying put3) spent $1600 to eviction attorney to proceed with the serving in October4) tenant's attorney replied back on 12/1/2020 stating to give them a 60 day extension so they will be out end of January (to which I agree to)4) finally got a case number (trial is set for Monday, December 21) which happened yesterday; but now they are continuing to bull **** (the nerve of them to ask for one month security deposit back and I should forgive them of all debt and not pursue small claims court if they move out by Feb 1)5) I told my attorney ********, no way are they getting anything back from me and I will pursue small claims court for all back-rent owed plus property damage plus all legal fees6) so the trial continues and will re-convene back on 1/21/2020What a load of crap.

I'm trying to get financing lined up before I find a deal. I want to do a seller financed deal that allows me to put less down, but I still have to come out of pocket the rest of the down payment and construction cost...

I dont allow tenants to move in without first month rent and security deposit paid by cashier check .

Up until then I was cheerleading the earlier thought experiments about supporting lean/regular/fat income with ~$1000 / month per paid off SFH, thinking “I could bang that out in 5 years”.
