. $450k seems like it will work but need to convince him to drop his price that low.

Last I heard as of June - July, it was said you couldn't rent the ADU and main dwelling, but it seems that's changing.

Seems like a silly question, but could the numbers ever justify investing while living in a rented place myself?

I live in Virginia and it seems like how the business gets classified is a big deal, and depending on how we classify it we made need things like a class A contractors licence (which in my opinion we shouldn't need) So I was hoping someone here had a similar issue the have solved already 

RealtyTrac seems to pull that info from somewhere and will list what is owed on the property for some properties but not all. 

One company we spoke too seems to specialize in group tours - filling lots of homes in the same complex.

That seems to carry more weight when the tenant agrees in court and the judge writes it on the judgment.Good luck!

I watch people buy homes 50k under asking price but I have made similar offers and seem to strike out 1 after another.

Do you think there's good amenities like restaurant/shopping near by (upper south end seems close to downtown providence so I'm thinking that may be a positive and make the area more convenient)?

The board is located in the attic and about this time last year the tenant admitted to messing with the board when the A/C seemed to malfunction.
