It sounds like your attorney and the sheriff are on the same page and I believe they are correct.

Leave the foundation as it is if it is otherwise structurally sound especially if it is an older building.

I would double check with your accountant on that though as you don't want a nasty surprise down the road (and you know what they say about assumptions).As far as Providence & the East Side, I attended a neighborhood meeting a few weeks ago with some people from the neighborhood and some folks from the Providence Building Department.It does sound like they are leaning in favor of some additional regulations for AirBnBs in Providence, which may involve needing to get a special permit.

70-80->115 in a year sure sounds sweet :)i can understand what you are saying, long term hold without a loan, but why not try to find a deal where you can profit from both a rise in the house price and the rent?

@William Joseph That expeditated process actually sounds incredibly helpful.

Richard,$3500 sound about right if you got coverage from well known carriers.

This sounds like a terrible idea to lie on an insurance form.

@Trevor Deeter sounds like you and your wife will make a good team!

Does that number sound out of line?

@Brian EllisIt sounds like the rent is too high.
