Obviously we'll section off the area prior to construction, but I'm concerned about the safety (and lawsuits) for all involved.

When i asked him how these were safety concerns he would say “it’s a violation” but not explain how.

Talk about your responsibility for the safety of other tenants.

Any advice or experiences you can shared would be greatly appreciated.ThanksChrisThe appraiser will point out any health and safety issues.

Safety, Security, Functionality, and Appearance are key, and you should strive to be consistent in what you do, what products you use, and your processes.

MAYBE if you put down 20% (since it would cost 10% to sell, these really not much safety margin there in the case of even a small hiccup.) and wrote up a contract where you would give them 100% ownership if you missed one payment, AND they wanted to be a landlord of thst building, it COULD work.

What were your considerations in terms of safety when looking at these neighborhoods and what were some issues you might have encountered during your time living there? 

They want new gadgets and safety features.

For both our safety and that of our borrowers, we won’t make a loan unless the property meets this.

Also, from a practical standpoint, there are a lot of tasks that must, or should, utilize two people, either due to bulk, or safety concerns.
