Providing guidelines on how to properly patch and paint over these holes could help maintain a good relationship and ensure the property is left in good condition.

Quote from @David Peschio: We have a strict policy regarding late payments to ensure consistent adherence to lease terms.

Look for doors rated for exterior use, with proper stripping, but that don’t require a big step over.

Also Columbia can be kind of funny with regs I would ensure an in-home business of this type is approved and tenant has required license if indicated.

Some investors start this way to start generating income while saving for a proper renovation, but it’s important to be very clear in your listing and lease about the conditions.Since I work with a lending group, I’ve seen situations where a small bridge loan or private funding can help finish spaces sooner and increase rent potential, even if traditional financing isn’t an option yet.

Proper ventilation and respirators are required.

You should definitely consult a professional before filing to ensure you do things properly.Best of luck,Clayton
