However, there are steps they must take prior to reaching this stage of the game, including notifying the landlord/management IN WRITING (keeping a copy of this as your documentation) of the issue and giving the landlord a "reasonable" amount of time to address this repair issue.Keeping areas free of rodents/vermin IS one of the requirements. 

Thanks for the warm welcome and all the tips!

Hello,I just moved to north NJ from Southern California  and I'm  trying to find more information about laws for building new ADU on a lot or coverting an existing unit like a barn or garage into a ADU.I've looked online but not finding alot of information.  

So while most end up with an initial offering on the steps it's not necessary required, some are even done online.

MOST of them are going to want the borrower to have some skin in the game.

Which I use to remind myself of why I never want to own rental property again, whenever I think about getting in the game again.3.  

Is rezoning a three unit to a four unit something I can reasonably pursue, and if so any tips on how to go about doing so?

Depending on your market, your broker splits, and your investment price points, you might be able to just game plan one deal a month, and go full time sooner than you think.  

If you have any tips or comments please feel free to share them with me!

I have no idea and I'm looking everywhere online now...Does anyone have a concrete answer whether I can roll some closing costs into my FHA 203k rehab loan?
