Then I start negotiations by simply explaining to the tenant there is a desire to explore a potential cash-4-keys or lease buy-out and would they be open to discussing the potential. 99% say yes and now we started off on the right foot, with a YES.

Makes me feel like a child.   

Any idea how much it might cost to have footers dug and beams installed to fully take the place of an unviable poured concrete foundation on a 2000 square foot two story home?   

Hello, Looking to convert my garage into a 500 sq foot jr ADu and later add a detached adu to my properton.  

It seems to be just daily foot traffic, minimal to no gouging of the floor. 

Build in a 4 foot railing with slats that are less than 6 inches apart, paint all white including the deck. 

@Mckenzie Mckean As someone who has rented in different ‘types’ of neighborhoods, I’ll say take time out whenever you can to drive through the neighborhood where your properties are located during the morning, afternoon, and night to see if there is a substantial difference in foot traffic and/or noise level.A suggestion would be to speak with your acquisition money partner about your investing strategy, while taking the ideas from the Realtor under consideration, especially if you are planning to keep your two properties long-term because the numbers are good.

I always thought I was doing the right thing, but may have shot myself in the foot huh? 

I also assist the tenants in putting their best foot forward with landlords and making sure that they are knowledgeable of the ins and outs of the program.  

In some cases, where the person has some other situation (recently someone had to move due to a child with special needs who's health care changed) that's out of their immediate control I just strike and agreement to let us in early to do anything we need, keep the deposit, and get it listed quickly.
