Perhaps this conversation can shed some light on that notion.

Great place to strike up a conversation, that could turn into a deal.  

We really hit it off and had a swell conversation...Any who, let me have it!

It seems positive from the conversations we've had.  

@Tristan S. so for my personal house it was on the sellers disclosure, for some wholesale deals we've done i asked. and thats how i find out the builders. and about knowing which ones are good or not per say, that is a lot of conversations with agents, GC's, owners, a lot of google reading reviews. 

I have considered this for a property I have but it would not be a conversion it would be replacing a 4 bedroom with a duplex because it is more in line with the larger parcel of property I own and a few other reasons. 

It's better to ride the lease out and not renew.I think you should have a conversation with your property manager.

Would be happy to have a conversation with you.

I will be sure to bring some ideas to the conversation.
