People don’t usually believe the direct verbal nearly as much as the passively written.Place a flyer in a cheap stand on the kitchen countert explaining that you are aware of the current economic times and you are willing to accept A, B, C as long as D, E are covered.And if other landlords in your area are not using the same approach it makes you look great.

Many basement require that a de-humidifier be constantly run. 

I went to the bank today to get myself pre approved for a loan to see what I can afford, so I am still on that, but I have a few questions about the location.i talked to an agent and he suggested and showed some multi-family homes in Delaware -Ohio. he said "there wasn't any in columbus" not sure why???

If no building permits were issued and inspection approvals were not conducted then you potentially have an illegal non-conforming use where they could demand you de-convert. 

If you're wanting to avoid taxes on your sale and you want to reinvest in something passive then you might want to look into Delaware Statutory Trusts.

My house that I'm currently in is on a cul-de-sac so street parking isn't a big deal, it's a split-level with 4 levels which gives everyone lots of room, and there are 3 bathrooms so only 1 is shared but the two tenants who share it have completely opposite schedules.

@Paul De Luca Thank you for your insight!

., maybe she should consider rolling the 1031 exchange funds into a Delaware statutory trust. 

if you are in Delaware inventory will be your biggest problem
