For me, as a social media marketing coach/teacher, it's all about the proper marketing and being where your buyers are searching.

For example, if the required front setback is 25 feet, and the required width of the lot is 50 feet, but the existing home has a setback of 23 feet and the lot is 40 feet wide, these are "existing conditions" that wouldn't be an issue for the city.

Based on the pictures, the property is in very good Condition.  

They seem normal, all other requirements are OK.Like any good landlord, you scan their social media.

I would just look to have the file encrypted if you have sensitive information like investor names, addresses, socials. 

The kitchen/dining room would have a door.I would relocate a door in the garage so that if I entered through the garage, I could still go upstairs without seeing the tenants and make a wall so that tenants couldn't go upstairs.The wall to wall carpet is in great condition but i guess I could take it out and put hardwood when the carpet gets old.I'm guessing the rennovation would probably cost around $30k.My current mortgage is 2800 and I owe about $500k but I need to buy my Ex out.1000sqft homes/apartments that are 2/1 in my area rent for about $3200/monthI could rent the top floor for maybe $3700/month (property manager rents my next door neighbors entire house with similar floor plan for $4500) How can I get financing toa. creatively buy my ex out (maybe pay her out in payments with low interest?).  

SO the owner wants say, 100,000 for a home really worth 60,000, because of the condition.

Depending on the type and condition of the windows, replacing those can get very painful from a labor perspective.

You do not provide any indication of the property age or condition nor include any reserve holdings for CapEx. 

So what has happened is, rents have flattened out since they are in close to original 70s condition.
