To protect myself I don't want tenants knowing my personal address etc. 

Exterior work involved repairing the roof, painting, replacing rotten wood, and installing new light fixtures.Multiple contractors were engaged for the project, with licensed professionals handling electrical, plumbing, and HVAC upgrades.I have compared the comps in this area on Zillow and it’s in the range of 115k to 130k. all else checks out, except that I do not have boots on the ground to verify in-person.  

Have you ever used your real estate or mortgage license for your personal transactions?
