In addition I suspect many of those homes that are huge negative cash flow are being sold to owner occ.. not for rental purposes. ???

What i want to do is either put a bedroom in the attic for one of the units or put an addition on the home for a bedroom.

The point of the law is to improve certain areas of the country by bringing in new structures and upgrades.I will be doing more research and talking to additional real estate specialists at our firm for more guidance.

I have over 10 years experience in rehabs but I'm looking for additional experienced handymen/women so I can turnover the rehabs quicker to get them rented or sold.   

That will serve as another data point in addition to the other ideas I provided.https://www.zillow.com/homes/for_sale/38.672942,-90.300445,38.662421,-90.31583_rect/16_zm/1_fr/

This would give me some freedom in future deals in addition to cash reserves.

The first factor was the announcement of the new Toyota/Mazda plant in Huntsville, AL earlier this year in addition to the already existing plants of Mercedes, Honda and Hyundai.

I might suggest offering a hard deposit at contract acceptance with an additional deposit to be made at the end of the due diligence period.

It would be something I am interested in doing namely because after a year, she will have paid an additional month's rent (26 payments/2 = 13).However, just wondering if having 14 days payments in a lease will make it more difficult to proceed with an eviction process?

In addition, I hope you got the deposit when you closed, otherwise you owe it to her in accordance with your lease.
