Doing it earlier in the process will make it susceptible to damage and wear and tear.

I have located a fire damaged S/ Family that has since been zoned for multi-family in a area that has several new properties. 

So when there is a storm and a tree falls into your building causing thousands of dollars in damage, you cannot control this.

Caution the tenant for damages to the property and Threaten 3-day quit.

Along with the potential to be open to housing students themselves (even though, the damage based on my experience can be catastrophic).

Stay away from water damage, there is no way you can figure that expense behind the siding, behind the sheetrock, I got a feeling you know that4) buy from people who have to sale, estates, divorces, partner fighting etc5) get your money from a small bank where the owners of the bank will know your name, no more than 4-5 branches. big banks will get lower FOS appraisals almost everytime and then could turn you down a day before closing (both have happened to me).

After a little while this would create an ice dam which would then continue up the roof backing water up under the shingles causing roof damage eventually.Another issue I see with it is that it would eventually get plugged up with grit and dirt then water wouldn't flow into your gutter anymore and probably begin to flow where you do not want it to flow.

One month after I bought the property it was damaged by Hurricane Ivan.

And your HOA probably covers any damages that would occur due to building defects, wind, or hail.No guarantee, but you could have a few good years with no maintenance.If you got a nice low interest rate on your conventional mortgage and managed the property yourself you could cashflow $225-278 per month depending on the maintenance.Still, I would want to buy into a townhome like this at a lower price point like $130,000I bought a 5 yr old townhome like this a year ago for $104,000 and it is cash flowing very nicely!

He is lying about things that are off putting to renters and we have had no apps in a month on a home that should have rented in a matter of days.How can I get him to keep his mouth shut or to undo damage that he has already done?
