At any rate, this is definitely legitimate and very common.  

Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville are all different markets, but then you have the Panhandle markets like Pensacola, the really posh and high-end area of Naples, and the Northern part of the state that has more in common with GA than it does Miami.

Having worked from home for a long time I know the climate has changed and working from home is more common/acceptable.

Some of the more common contingencies include: financing, appraisal, title, and inspection.

I will angle the conversation as “I need to monitor the work to make sure I know any building issues that arise and so I’m on the same page with you about where we are up to”.Is there anything I’m missing, like I’d be in breach of some labour law etc.

It doesn't bind you with common liability risk the way a partnership does.The legal website NOLO.com explains it this way:https://www.nolo.com/legal-enc...Joint Venture.

@Austin Shute if you intend it to be storage for the whole building, you'll need to figure out how to connect it to the common areas / hallway so all tenants can access it.But usually what folks do in this situation is combine the top floor with the closest unit and make it a bigger unit (a "townhouse" unit), rather than using a top floor for storage for the whole building.You might have to remove a door or two to connect the two units so the building inspector doesn't think you're going to keep renting the top floor as an illegal 5th unit, but as long as that's done I think you might be able to keep the bathroom up there.

I live in Houston where this setup seems relatively common but am not sure if that comes with tenant issues around a shared yard, etc.Thanks!!
