Being from DC, I expect your design would be wind controlling. 

And in the lease, it states that “the tenant is responsible for pest control costs if it is determined that they are the cause of the infestation” but being that’s haven’t moved in yet it should also be free of charge.

As it does not move across state lines, intrastate commerce is subject to the exclusive control of the state.

Therefore, I would not try to get a license whether it’s a real estate agent or a contractor or an appraiser, etc. i’d be investing a few hundred thousand dollars in either a joint venture or syndication.

The CDC claimed control of the US Housing industry . . . talk about fiat!!

This market is hard to build in and heavily regulated (rent control etc), and has a large population.

The property was for sale to anyone when you bought it, he wasn't so concerned about controlling the environment until now, let him know when your ready to sell so he can buy, also let him know you bought to make money and his is as good as anyone else's, make me an offer.

Supreme Court ended the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC’s) eviction moratorium Thursday night, giving much-needed relief to America’s small housing providers facing financial hardship for more than a year.

I would recommend handing off the day to day to someone else4) depends on how you fund the first property5) USA... 6) My biggest concern is appetite to put more rent controls in place and/or tying rent to the unit, not to the tenant, but these concerns are provincially legislated (not federally).

If you can do this with a joint-venture, hats off to you.
