I had 14 days to turn over the property and now they don’t even know when they will be out.

Guess, its pandemic shifted everyone to single family residences.As for the age.

For example, doing the kitchen,paint and floors in the 2 months before moving in and then moving to bathroom renovations or adding a master suite addition while living in the property.Depending on you jurisdiction and capital you can use the value add house hack to even add an adu to increase the density. 

We were helping a friend renovate a house which had been home to a heavy smoker: one room was so bad - owner had smoked in the same chair for 30 years - that we had to replace the sheet rock on the walls and ceiling.There have been some studies in the past few years showing that the chemicals from cigarette smoke, even when encapsulated with paint, eventually come to the surface exposing future residents, in particular young children.  

No current liens but these properties have tax deeds, not warranty deeds if that matters.thanksLevi You have some options for hard money for sure and even more for private.

Overall, I did make a profit on this project even with all the challenges that came with it.

-Needs to be state and maybe even city specific!

It would be even better if you can get something that you can easily house-hack like a SFH w/ an efficiency attached to help out with the mortgage.

I own couple of single home rentals in Tampa Florida and have always wanted to transition from long term to short term rentals.

Even if I were sued, I document everything and obey the law, so I won't be found guilty.
