If you moved in with a washer/dryer, then he should maintain the washer/dryer.If you allow him to start charging for laundry then he could suddenly decide to charge for use of the oven or a parking space.

I used to do it for most clients (bigger ones excluded) unless I had access to an operating account of some type for them. 

You also learn a lot like how to run comps and get direct MLS access which is nice.Hope that helps.

You could expect access to about 75% with one of those. 

This makes places accessible for those with mobility disabilities and better for others as well. 

If you are to compete against others what are your competitive advantages to allow you to flourish in the space? 

The problem I have is the driveway to access the parking area in the rear of the house is very narrow ~10feet wide. 

See what the insurance person, sometimes they send an adjuster to review the property, says about the space.

Once you get past the limits on conventional loans you're in the commercial space, with terms like you're seeing. 

Vallejo is hot right now an if you negotiate a great deal you may want to close on it and list it on the MLS if you have access to cash.
