"A New Year’s banger at an Ohio Airbnb, meant to be the party to kick off 2018, turned into a nightmare when the host lost control and police officers from five departments were forced to shut down the celebration while 200 party goers trashed the residence."

Personally I would start changing the dependency upon yourself for client acquisition, if the business grows larger then obviously it will become a challenge, when I was managing our mother company, i was a one-man show with 300 employees and a bunch of department heads, it became obvious really quick that we needed to restructure and start training, now it can be left alone for 6 months and maintain clockwork.

When doing almost any sort of rehab, most building departments require you to add hard-wired, interconnected smoke detectors IN every bedroom and in some other locations and some of those have to be combo smoke/CO detectors.

As far as the current owner of the neighbor's house you might want to contact that bank or mortgage company and talk to somebody in the Foreclosure Department

Pros: tax credits, making money from the sun, easier to install with new construction or major rehabs, and Many more.Cons: utility companies suck, building departments don’t always know what solar is or how to inspect it, maybe aesthetics but we never got any complaints. 

You are under the thumb of the department of real estate.

Jefferson Smith I just used my local bank’s commercial lending department.

@Brandon McDowellThe closest thing you can do is get what's called a US Department of Veterans Affairs Loan,....which is designed for Veterans like us to get a property that needs TLC on it.

I may even check with the NY State, Board of Real Estate, Department of Licensing.

Even call the local police department and ask them what they think of the neighborhood.
