I told the the prospective tenant that would not do the background check that she did not meet all of my qualifications and that I would be renting the unit to someone else.

But the mil is on a fixed budget, retired and does not meet the DTI.

A couple of points I would consider are: does your kitchen meet code requirements to be used as a commercial kitchen?

Someone who can meet with in person and who knows the area.  

If the deal meets your criteria today, do it.  

I don’t even manage the property and still have to constantly deal with it. 1031 will be the move.I own a house in close proximity as well.I would love to get another property, (preferably a duplex but adaptable) near the beach area.My goal is to start making more passive income and grow a sustainable Real Estate portfolio.Adaptable as I mentoined: to move Into the prospects of MultIfamIy dwellIngs or flIps when comfortable.I like meeting people and am constantly learning new processes.

I would love to meet up to discuss.

So, if you are coming from out of town and would be interested in meeting up one evening, please reply here.And if you are a local to Miami and want to help coordinate this, please let me know!

and the seller will know it includes land use  utls  market study any number of things that go into developing property for resale. and if there is an agent involved they will know.once you do your due diligence then you come back with your findings and tighter terms  .. in our state you must have a pre app meeting which are very useful... these usually cost 1 to 3k per pre app.. and you need to have your mock up of what your proposing.. good to have your civil with you..

Did you meet that goal?
