There may be some people who are late and you might be able to rent some of the rooms. 

Curious what people do in this circumstance. thanks for your input! 

., they have re-zoned my property as residential/commercial use which evidently was their solution for people not getting the permits but puts me into an entirely different tax structure. 

I wish there were more people in your shoes!

I advise people to hold property forever unless they can move the money into another investment that produces a greater return or moves them closer to their goals.

How come none of the brokers found the best deal for me and how could I help other people get the best rate for a mortgage.

Since you work out of town you can recruit people to drive around for you give him a piece of the deal or family members can help you for.

They are rarely as big a deal as most people think....

I have a handful on rentals now and I genuinely enjoy doing them, but I think I'll be switching to something else in the next year or so.

Some people have different goals in mind when going into it.
