I'd rather spend an equal amount of time working on the REI side hustle but it's simply not possible when you start out.

I would like to have a court judgement against them, because people shouldn't be getting away things simply because they can.

you will get all sorts of advice from those all over the country but its not worth anything.You simply walk into the planning department of the city / county that regulates land divisions in that area and it looks like a high priced area ..

This implies that you cannot simply calculate a reduction in rent for the loss of the garage.

@Patrick Thomas Dickinson The stress test is simply running my same evaluation numbers using 10% less in rents (reduce assumed market rent by 10%).

For example knob and tube wiring or non-conforming zoning with no potential for rebuild.

My first goal is just to simply stop renting and buy my own property where I can house hack or airbnb a few rooms out, However this will take me a few years to do at this rate I am at.

You may, along, the way, simply give up attempting to complete this.

If they ask for something I'm not sure about, I simply tell them I need to think about it and get back to them.

@An Nguyen I'll second Ben and Trevor above here . . . you'll eventually be able to do this with ease, and in the meantime you MIGHT be able to do this by simply occupying it for 14 days . . . so, how about a spring vacation to OKC?!?
