Two different clients, both military, both landlords, both with sufficiently high incomes (>$150K when filing jointly with spouse) that their passive losses from real estate investing are suspended.

@Kumar PajThank you for the reminder to be patient, and reassuring me that I have made the right choice in signing up with this site.

Other issues with basement apartments usually revolve around codes like ceiling heights and sufficient egress.

I myself am somewhat of a numbers guy so ideally someone who has an eye for the modern day design choices (while keeping budget in mind).I just arrived to Columbus this evening so would love to meet folks this week while I'm here.

You made that choice at the time for reasons that seemed the best course.

This can be very expensive and is usually the worst choice to make because you can't justify the cost.2.

The borrower should also discuss the closing costs with their real estate agent or attorney to understand their responsibilities and to ensure that they have sufficient funds available to cover these costs.

It is unlikely they would pay so you would then have a choice. 

At the moment, I lack the sufficient experience, net worth, and UNHW LP base to analyze larger apartment deals. 

I'm not really interested in the topic but had to comment on your choice of subject title.
