For example, when you go to a fine dining restaurant, you get the psychological payoff of enjoying a good meal whereas the restaurant gets the financial payoff of charging you a small fortune.In housing, most homeowners update their own homes because they want to experience the joy of having better finishes in the home.

Just enjoy living in the house. 

If a pet is found on the property, this is grounds for breaking the lease and Tenant will be given a three day notice to vacate.

Good Day, I hope all is well and you are enjoying your weekend.

If you enjoy the process then by all means pursue that license. 

These experienced investors pointed out that homes in the suburbs tend to be newer and have tenants that protect your asset and don't vacate as quickly.

It sounds like I should be able to DIY this (and I do enjoy it and have done taxes for a tiny corporation) once I research the correct and optimal way to separate the business from the residence.

I would really enjoy if we could coordinate and meet to talk a little bit more about the subject.

I would say go for Investor that own portfilio and want to cashout of the marketing because the properties are to far away or they want to enjoy their life and move on.Go to propstream and look for 5 or more units and investor who may want to sel below markert.I have an investor that came across a super hot deal the investor is at the prime of his life and selling a 9 Million dollars portfilio for 6 Million so you just have to try many different things and I PROMISE ONE OF THEM WILL WORK FOR YOU.

Just curious, do you expect the tenants to clean prior to vacating the property at the end of their lease?
