@Victoria RadcliffTry looking for 2 bedroom houses where the square footage is in excess of a 1000 square feet.  

So we will be looking for a 2 or 3-flat where we can live in a 3-room unit.

So my leases just give my tenants a flat fee if they want to break the lease, a substantial fee and allowed in my state.  

Two months over-lap is excessive, but one month is really nice if you can afford it.

Tenant's judgement is in excess of insurance coverage.

Right now the best data we have is the excess death data to back into a case fatality rate. 

The first is you can partner with with family friend, say in exchange for part of the deal, equity, cashflow, etc.The second would be to do a syndication, with you being the general partner and the family friends being limited partners investing for equity, cash flow, or just a flat return.

the inspection said I needed to replace a flat roof over a my living room. if I hire a licensed roofer, can they do it without getting a permit?

Admittedly, the carpet and padding in the bedrooms seem to be pretty thin, but just outside the bedroom there is a laminate floored hallway to the bathroom, which seems to be excessively noisy, especially when being traveled in the middle of the night.
