The 2 are not diametrically opposed.

We will try for a variance and make a case for building a second unit (making it a duplex as opposed to SFH with ADU).

Since the tenant was evicted as opposed to breaking their lease it is likely your loss.  

I am not entirely opposed to the concept of an NID, but their assessment plan has non-owner occupied properties paying 3x the fee of owner occupied, which is B.S., and the year one spending plan to me is stupid.  

Buying a "fixer upper" here is $400,000+ as opposed to Columbus OH at what?

., as they require active day to day management, as opposed to somewhat more passive rental income.As for the build outs for the less than mobile, this is constantly being done to regular houses as the owners "age in place".  

Paying extortion money in my personal opinion is a emotional as opposed to a business decision but I will openly acknowledge that in some markets extortion may well be standard business practice.

As opposed to purchasing, you refinance your mortgage when you already own the property.The remainder of your question is going to hinge on what strategy you're using.

All of this will give you the tools to have a useful conversation with turnkey companies.It may take some work to find a market that suits your particular needs as an investor but it will help you get closer to deals work in reality as opposed to just on paper.Good Luck!

Therefore, if any bigger pockets members would be willing to refer me to anyone that they have worked with/are currently working with in any of the following vocations, that would be greatly appreciated: closing agent/title company (currently the most important), real estate agent, property manager, real estate attorney, project manager (as opposed to a GC), mortgage broker, hard money lender, accountant, inspector/appraiser, insurance agent.Thank you in advance for your help and taking the time out of your busy schedules to reply.Best Wishes,Michael DiGiovanni
