You posted in the Renter's Discussion forum, which isn't the best fit.

I should have the room to fit a closet in there no problem.

We're also purchasing a home for ourselves very soon.If anyone knows of a good broker that might fit my unusual situation please let me know. 

Is it better to demolish or to adjust what has already been built to fit compliance?

I was unaware of the NACA program and will review their information to see if it fits my criteria and long term goals.My goal at this time is to exit my apartment and 'househack' a MFR for 1-2 years and become a part time investor by continuing to work my FT job.

We would be interested in flipping it in less than 2 months, so the scope of work would need to fit within that time frame (mostly because we would like to be doing at least 8-10 flips per year).  

I am willing to run open houses on the weekends but not sure how I would fit any floor time into my schedule as it is now.

Contractor B isn't happy that you opted for someone else who you deemed is a better fit for you.

@Ben Ballinger I think that first you need to evaluate if it's even possible. as @Deanna McCormick pointed out, Washers/Dryers in the units require special hookups (electricity, plumbing, venting, sometimes gas) this could cost you a lot of money to create these or to maintain them if the property is not setup for this.Personally, I like the in-unit because it allows you to charge rent for the machines and it frees up your basement to generate more income by creating another unit or rentable storage units or you could create a shared space that will increase the attractiveness of your units (maybe a library, a game room, fitness room etc
