Let say  I want to build a 3,000 square foot home would it be cheaper to build a module home or have a construction company do it.

Just installed all new smoke detectors and a CO2 detector with 10 year batteries and voice in the rentals.

What can I do to be more proactive here...backup battery in sump pump, generator, etc.?

To take a vacation and recharge the batteries once in a while.Alex

I see lots of negatives to restricting the flexibility of owners to rent out their units.Source- Illinois Legal FAQ doc:http://www.mountprospect.org/Modules/ShowDocument....Q-1.Our condominium association is experiencing problems with renters.

It is four different modules that are a week long each. 

For pharmacies that go dark they are easily re-tenanted if location and demographics are strong.I have seen Chase banks, battery plus stores, dollar stores, etc. go in those for second generation tenants.Where I believe people get in trouble is buying low cap rates in what I call weak suburban to rural communities at low cap rates.

If potential tenants ask about water in the basement during showings for that house, we tell them all of that, and that it the sump pump dies, it will flood, and we provide one of those $10 battery operated water sensors next to the sump pump.

There are glitches or Yardi just didn't activate the module lol and then made me feel like I was going crazy because I was sure that's how you do it.

The advantage of doing traditional, ground up construction is that you don't have stick to particular module and you can truly customize the building to suit your needs.
