The lease agreements are usually pretty easy to find but you need to make sure that it complies with your state, local and condo association laws, regulations and guidelines.Most states put out a handbook of some sort containing landlord/tenant regulations and you need to be very familiar with that.Congrats on getting started.

I could see property values down or up 15% within the next 12 months. 5-10 yrs I remain bullish on All of the Bay area counties due to fundamental lack of supply.

Why would home depot sell building supplies when they could just build the houses?

There are just so many laws  and regulations I thought it would be worth my while to get the education and license.

If you combine these points with the ever dwindling supply of housing, I think that you will see that the real estate market in Nashville is poised for continued growth.

@Ahmed EliasBefore hiring anyone, I would first make an appointment with the planning department in the jurisdiction the property is in.I would make sure the planning department, building department, and zoning department will all sign off on your plan.Once this is done you will have a clear idea of what is going to be expected of you to get your place rebuilt and running.After this you can then plan and start speaking to engineers, general contractors and such.Doing this prior will be all for loss of the local government regulators say you can't do it.Just something for you to consider.

They are not regulated the same way as conventional mortgages, and each lender sets its own perameters for lending.
