Unlike a failed motor or control, a door doesn't just fail.

For rear-facing windows, we don't generally do anything at all.To me, windows are a way to control what the buyer sees outside the house.

OK..well, of course they can't get financed for more than the appraised value...and now the lenders order the appraisal from a pool kind of like VA has done for years, so the loan officer doesn't have any control on who does the appraisal...You want them to buy, and they want to buy, so you don't want to be blunt and tell them too bad so sad.I don't know the market in the area, assuming Colorado Springs, but I assume you have an idea of the value of the property.

Utilities for all apartments would be separate.I asked the local codes enforcement what would change if I did make this into a three unit and he warned me that I would be required to have a sprinkler system in all units and an alarm system.

You also you give up control of property that is essentially being purchased with your money and also certain level of uninformed risk.

I don't think you can maintain legal control of the property and still do this.

While appreciation is a huge upside, I would still value cash flow more since cash flow can pay my bills whereas market appreciation cannot be controlled.

What is your contact management system?

When you can buy multiple units in a small condo, say 7 out of 10, then you can control the board of directors, and none of these problem exist, because every thing is now up to you.

As a buyers agent, they can set you up in the system to receive all the homes on the RMLS that fit your criteria.
