Hi @Brendan Markle ,Thanks for the response, I would definitely be interested in learning about some of the better areas for small multi-family apartment rentals in the Doylestown area, in addition to learning about your background some more.Thanks,

We felt instead of having 3 small bedrooms we would add value and convert one of those small bedrooms into a master walk in closet with a master shower.

He's looking to finance MOST of the deal through conventional financing, but may need some extra cash options for a small amount. 

You can either enforce your lease or let the tenant know that you wont enforce your rules and hope for the best when they break other provisions in the lease....your choice.The middle ground is to let the tenant know that she is in violation of the lease and this is grounds for eviction if the issue is not corrected..... you will not enforce that provision if he goes through the standard tenant screen and is placed on the lease.These are small issues and not worth making a huge issue out of, BUT they set the precedent on how tough you run your properties....are you a pushover or are you someone to not try and take advantage of..... how you approach this situation may have future impact on other things that come up.If this is a good tenant, in a nice property and there aren't any issues, I wouldn't make a big deal out of it, but I would not just ignore the fact that she is breaking a provision in the lease...that gives them the impression that they can do whatever they want

Small homebuilders building spec homes normally use the completed contract method.

I will be investing in small multi family. 

However the neighbor was adamant about bringing my landlord to small claims court, and thus in return, the landlord wants to sue me for the damages the neighbor is claiming. 

As today he is not send me any retaliate messages, let see if he does file small claim court. 

Also, I’m in a small (8 member) real estate investment group since 2016.

I am currently searching the market South of Portland, Oregon to house-hack a small multifamily property, preferably a triplex or quad.
