technically, the Florida Building Code does not require services of an engineer or architect in the design/re-design of single family homes.

. - my father's background pertains to the design, construction, and architectural planning of projects, not necessarily acquisition or finance.

You will have 24 different years of construction and design.

I know my market pretty well having been a realtor for the last 2.5 years.Since funds are limited (who knew being an adult would be so expensive?!

On day 1 "Monday" we sent the measurements of the kitchen to our cabinet company...Who turned out the design in a couple hours...We could have saved MEGA bucks by ordering direct from one of our national suppliers, but that would have taken about 3 weeks.  

If the 4 plex you're attempting to buy has the tenants on month to month (you should definitely know that information), don't forget that you can solve this problem when you notify them that you'll be signing them up to new leases with new stipulations and regulations (IE: Newly non smoking allowed units, Each adult over 18 needs to sign a lease in order to live in the units, No parties after 9pm [which can be huge in Los Angeles] etc etc).Good luck!

You currently have a valid lease for which both of the adults are responsible.

Presently the way the system is designed in the condo building (6 units), the pump might still allow for the water to flow (even if the pump is not working, being off) if the other pumps push the water up.

As to the roommate part, @Jerry W. may correct me here, but make sure all adults names are listed on the lease.

My thought goes more to the age of prospects, a modest income earning adult will have less time for discretionary activities, they may be more consumed by other things than surfing the web, but I'm sure some do.Access to the internet can be had at libraries, free, so for those techies time on line is limited.
