@Noa Zell Agreed with @Jon Schwartz on first identifying the allowed uses in the MR1 zone and then reach out to the Planner to discuss the options for permitting those uses and the timing.

In Macomb county you will need to make a lease on a monthly basis where the water becomes the rent after non payment this way you can claim those fees into your eviction notice and collect

I'm new to investing and would love to be able to connect with members here, that are local investors in the Pittsburgh area, to discuss their experiences and recommendations.

Do you do it on your own or do you have anyone search for you and you pay finder fee.

This is a solid idea, I will discuss my options with my accountant, and consider it as I proceed along. 

@Amy FirminAmy, If you are bringing your kids in to teach them the business, letting them know that trying to cut costs by saving on legal fees is definitely not the best advice.A partnership template may technically cover the needs of the parties at its inception but may not be sufficient to cover the eventualities that can arise in real time.If you do find that template, spending a few bucks to have an experienced eyeballs on it to button it up seems like a good idea.

Forget just the 10% & lease fee you're losing, you're taking liability now engaging with the tenants.

You also have to factor in the other costs in an exchange such as brokers fees and intermediary fees as well.

This violates the lease, but rent is paid on time each month, neighbors have not noticed anything unusual, and the tenants are hardly ever there so overall, they are good tenants to have.I am debating ending the lease due to the clear violation, OR adding the new employees to the lease for a fee with regular inspection to ensure only 3 people are staying in the unit.
