IM actually getting the repairs taken care of for another investor on BP that used this clown. 

We have taken care of engineers and permits.Assume that there is reasonable access from the rear of the property - and these are all attached row homes.If anyone has recommendations for a good subcontractor we are all ears.  

I have been reading books and listening to many of the BP podcasts.

@Angelina Nguyen CGA  for the health care group safety is a factor. 

Listening to the podcast, reading some books, and starting to try to connect with the right people.

Someone gets injured in the basement your home owners insurance probably will not cover it and the liability would be pushed back on you.Would suggest discuss the finish with a Licensed Contractor, Licensed Expeditor and maybe a zoning attorney in regards to adding a unit to current zoned two unit converting to a 3 unit.Also, when buying a two unit and converting it to a 3 Unit, read your documents with out knowledge of the conversion the bank holding your mortgage could call your mortgage.Let me know if you have any questions.RegardsJoe Scorese

"When I think of Jesse Rook, I think of someone who is polite, patient, caring, selfless, and the type of person I would want to work with when buying and selling real estate.Born (in New Mexico) and raised in Grand Rapids, MI, Jesse is a native to the West Michigan area and brings with him years of experience of the ins and outs of neighborhoods.What sets Jesse apart from other agents is that he puts his clients first and himself second.

I am going to pretend I did not read that forum, not because it is not sage advice, but because it interferes with my rose colored glasses. 

So my approach is --- who cares if they're upset?

There is too much supply for the little amount of demand for rent or for sale.Be careful of peoples projections in the area as they are not accurate.
