You will also not find anything longer than 20-year amortizations with 3, 5, or 7 year balloons in my experience.There are others that might advocate closing in your own name, getting a conforming loan, and then changing the title, but that seems like playing with fire to me.

I am firing my live-in maintenance guy who was supposed to be taking care of the common area cleaning, but has done a terrible job, and am looking for some referrals for someone new to clean the common areas twice a week.There are 6 building entrances with 2 floors and 8 units off each entrance.

Don't be afraid to fire her and find an expert.

I am fairly confident in estimating the reno efforts within the individual units but when you start looking at the structural integrity of the building itself and some of the systems (HVAC, electrical, fire suppression, etc) which can be quite different than what you encounter in a smaller building, hire a professional.This is one of the reasons you have a longer diligence periods on commercial / multi buildings.

our county only has a volunteer fire dept.

As to the insurance issue, coverage may be disallowed based on claims arising from a dog issue, it's not as if they don't pay a fire loss.

Fire lists.

Lawyers are expensive.If I fire them now, I'll need to pay 3 months of management fees for 4 units.

The seller told me he needed to get the Fire Marshall to approve it before a bank would give a mortgage.
