Hey Rick,Mind if I get your contact info?

Absolutely gets your hands dirty buying Quadplexes instead of getting your hands dirty with STR'S. 

I have know a great insurance agent that would be happy to talk things through with you and what your options are.

Who is the “lender” on your note and mortgage?

If the seller is now asking to be able to complete the home inspection, without first fixing the gas leak, I again don't have any issue with that as long as its inside your inspection period and you have the credit etc in writing at this point. 

Quote from @Dustin Tucker: Just curious who you used for your lender?

Tenant had to claim against their own insurance. 

– I’m exploring whether I can remove the SRO designation and replace it with Artist Dwellings, but I’m unsure of the legal requirements or how this conversion works.If anyone has clarity on the definition of Artist Dwellings or proven strategies for making this type of conversion, I would greatly appreciate your input.Thanks in advance for any insights!

So for handy people, check your local Craigstlist and Angi maybe?
