I've been on this platform and learned so much from fellow investors.

Even google doesn’t have a street view of the house, so I need to be conservative here.Do I have any leverage in this situation?

Time, Interest, and Energy.  

Otherwise a simple $50 late fee penalty in the lease should cure you of this issue @Phil Shelton

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

A contractor has different interests from you.

I’m seeing lenders holdback this amount.

HH properties (and often HH clients) are high resource utilization accounts for a PMC, so many PMCs won't take them on, or will only take them on with the understanding that the property will be converted to a single-lease property (we do still use this approach.) 

Is this what you're looking for?

It's great to hear about your interest in real estate.
