@Ayyoub Reza   There are a number of places to get agreements but make sure you get one that is current and state specific (here, legal zoom, a lawyer, real estate association ) Read your HOA bylaws what does it require to be included.

Send notice the rent is late. 2. find out the maximum legal actions you can take and go.

Set a standard in your mind for credit worthiness and the first person to meet that standard gets it.

Theres also many local real estate meetups depending on how far your willing to drive where you can meet other like minded people and network to learn from them as well. 

If I'm in your shoes, I'd recommend interviewing and meeting with different brokers across the spectrum to get a good sense of which option is right for you.

In addition to furnishings, t will need work (such as new countertops) to meet my vision for upscale couples retreat.

I'm drafting the legal documents myself so that saves.Maintenance will likely be about $300 annually for filing fees.

But in absence of a SSN, whatever legal action we take mag not result in any meaningful recourse. 

I'm of course going to ask the owner if the unit is legally a triplex and I did confirm on atlas.phila.gov that it is RM-1, which is good but wanted to see how I can confirm through online records that it indeed has 3 units and not 2.

If it were, the first thing everybody should do is read their contracts to make sure they aren't going to be paying their opponent's legal bills if they lose... because they add up quickly when demand letters are sent.But based on what I've heard so far, I believe this goes back to what public record was at the time of OP's purchase.
