I sell portable buildings that can be used for temporary housing, guest quarters, sleeping quarters etc and have thought about pursuing a larger property to develop a community. 

Just my 2 cents, ultimately it depends on you and you need to be able to sleep at night. 

Every city inspector I've ever met with said that they can only require safety issues to be fixed, and not require you to add anything unless it is a safety issue (carbon, smoke detector, etc)For most municipalities I'd expect to have a smoke detector in or around each bedroom and a CO detector near all sleeping areas.Does Bedford use safebuilt for their inspections like Maple Heights does, or is it a city employee who came out?

IN the vast majority of cases this means the property itself generates zero or negative cash flow once the equity return is deducted.Extremely conservative investors that suffer from investment stress pay off rentals to sleep better at night but they make no true cash flow from their properties.

, hearing/speech therapy, Allergist, lung/sleep/asthma perhaps, small primary care,...the list goes on.

I always felt competent doing my taxes previously, but I've now seen the light regarding the value of having someone who eats, breathes, and sleeps taxes doing my returns.    

I wouldn't want someone having their friends or family members come and live with them if there's really nowhere for them to sleep.

I don't think I could sleep soundly not knowing who's directly managing my property.  

Any advice on what to leave vs. put away (i.e. family photos, clothes in closets, kids toys, etc)- We have a large house and could sleep 15-20 people.  

This lady does it for free and I get to sleep with her.
