I will just inform the tenants to keep their stuff on the first and second level while they finish the bedrooms upstairs. if there is a delay hopefully it will just be 1 day of not having access to the bedroom.thanks again for the advice I'm sure you all just put money in my pocket by keeping me from putting carpet back down.

I would really like to invest in multifamily properties but I know that is a big leap as a beginner so I plan to first start off with single family properties and transition into multi family properties and maybe commercial(who knows).I am mainly looking at properties in and around houston for investing.

If you know a commercial agent that can find sales comps in your area at a lower cap rate you should be able to show appraiser the value.

I currently own a maintenance company here in the Tampa Bay market that services commercial and residential homes through either Realtors, Property management companies,  and large REIT's.

I am now mobile, and the business does not have a physical presence, so we effectively have no physical presence in our state of Oregon except for commercial offices which are empty and lease expires August 31st. 

Access to MLS would be very handy.

Crash prediction is as follows:More apartments staying vacant (seattle times article and npr podcast on nyc yesterday)Projects are permitted and planned years in advance so even as commercial multi family of 50+ are crashing, they are still buildingOk n next 2 years smaller devlopers and property managers to go under, default, get bought out.

@Timothy VanWingerden What does the current lease say regarding inspections, work, and notice for access?

The only place would be behind this double gate, but you see there is no access from the road.

Secondly, we looked at cities that we had easy access too.
