A few things are: fire separation distances (window/door opening location/sizes in relation to the property lines), easements (hopefully none of these garages were built on city easements), egress (adequate emergency escapes from bedrooms), utilities (are they separate meters and were they installed up to code?) 

I'm far from an expert in real estate but my observation is that the real estate industry is being disrupted and new business models are emerging.

Phone the non-emergency number for the police and ask them what to do.

You have a $22k head start minus a 6 month emergency savings.

My premise of taking it was end of Covid emergency and i thought within a year i could get them out.

I think the best way you get there is growing your company by reinvesting your available cash flow, I'd only withdraw money from your business if you absolutely needed it and it was an emergency.

I don't speak for the OP, but I DO NOT have a decent amount of money saved up for down payment (everything tied up in the new practice as either family emergency fund and practice emergency fund).

I put a portion($2500) into an emergency fund and the rest is put in a separate account for the purchase of another property.

Definitely noticing that there’s an apparent “Airbnb look” that’s emerged as the STR industry has evolved.

Emergency access requirements are generally defined to require a fire apparatus (fire truck) access road meaning paving costs have increased to support a large heavy truck.
