The landlord is responsible to all of those.

@Joe Callantine I was thinking of that, yes. Building them apart from the SFM, and connecting electric and water to each of them individually

@Joe Callantine Pull the permits myself for an RV pad? What do you mean?

I'm thinking of building them up off the ground and running utilities out to them. Probably off the main house.

I am interesting in Tiny Home Construction on my own SFH property for rentals. What would be the best way to go about doing this? Do I need a building permit for a non-slab construction? Running utilities? I would like to do the construction myself if possible to save on labor.

Who should I speak to regarding Zoning/etc?

I live in Warner Robins, GA Houston County and I am interested in constructing Tiny homes for rentals on my personal SFH property.

How can I get more information on Zoning Requirements, find out whats permitted, etc. What would be the best way to go about this?

Hello, I own a fixer duplex near Mercer in 31201, and struggling to find workers/contractors in Georgia's skilled labor shortage. I am beginning to consider a partnership, a manager, whatever it takes to get this property cashflowing. Have made some progress but way too slow. Anyone actively working Macon, I welcome your input on how to find a crew as an out-of-town investor.

 I own a quadplex downtown! I recommend you look into Southern Tradition Builders. What kind of work do you need on the property? Would love to help however I can. 

Post: Tenant Requests Decreased Rent

I have a situation I haven't dealt with yet. One of my inherited tenants who've lived in the unit for 4 years paying $550/mo just broke up with his girlfriend. I've owned the building for 6 mo and we've never had an issue regarding late rent or any other conflict. 

Today when I collected rent he asked if he could pay $450 for the next few months to help him out while he brings in new income from other sources. He offered to help out around the house wherever possible to compensate for it.

He followed this up by saying if there isn't anything I can do he is willing to try and figure it out to make ends meet. 

I wanted to know if any of you have dealt with a similar situation, and see what you think I should do. I am willing to tell him he's going to have to continue paying the current rent, but I didn't know if there was another way.

Thanks!

That is crazy!  Ive heard of people doing things like that,  but I thought those were extreme cases.  K didn't think this was a common occurance Havana
