Even in the fall when it is too cold to swim.

And while they do offer a suite of services for their licensees, they left a big wake behind and are cutting back on a lot of things now.

Having said that you can buy a duplex and live in half and rent the other half or buy a house with a self contained suite-usually a basement suite. 

In the event terms are not met, the buyers  have no right to ownership of the property.This is usually more suited to multi-family than individual homes where a lot more money is involved in the transaction and the seller typically does not need a lump sum of money right away.

Luckily, we had a back up property management company that has been absolutely incredible.To top it off, working in the swimming pool industry, we were absolutely swamped, so much so that I almost had a heart attack on 2 separate occasions because of the amount of stress.I had elected to focus on work until things slowed down.

Today the issue may be for what they perceive as legit repair requests, but tomorrow it could be because they believe you are charging too much, which they mention is an issue.After the repairs and animal issues are dealt with I would just be honest with them and explain they seem unhappy with the house and amount of rent they are paying so that you feel it would be better if they move on to somewhere that better suits their needs.

Meaning, double check your numbers on the anticipated rents you plan to charge, with multiple sources, and try to anticipate any costly, unforeseen problems during the renovation.I’m currently renovating a 4br 2bth into a 4br 2.5 bth, adding a master suite and opening the kitchen to the dining room and living area.

If you can swing it, I'd suggest keeping your books with a quickbooks-esque software suite. 

What's your opinion on blowing out the wall between the 2 bedrooms on the main level and making one large master suite with a decent size bathroom?
