I gave her 30k in 2024 and that was to buy a new car to replace her 15 year old Accord (which just keeps on running). 

It's a big money maker for architects, engineers, and contractors, but not a huge opportunity for investors, nor should it be. 

I only listen to 2 x car podcasts, 2 money podcasts and 6 real estate podcasts.

Hey y'all, Recently purchased an abondoned car wash, converting to storage units.

If you're a single mom with student loans, a car payment, and living paycheck-to-paycheck, then $20,000 would be devastating and a reserve is critical.

They found it out, andI had to go to the planning board and zoning board, hire an engineer and architect to make the fourth unit legal.In my opinion, the realtor should have verified the zoning, and if you used bank financing, it's pretty rare for the bank to miss it as well.You are probably going to have to hire an architect to draw plans and to get it approved as a triplex.I wish you luck.

While the location is great, parking is an issue, and can really only accommodate about 4 - 5 cars total at time reasonably. 

The three single car garage spaces are vacant and not durrently being utilized and can be monetized through rent.

I'm an engineering student planning to start a business after graduation.

For example, if your driveway only fits two cars, you need to know if tenants plan to bring several vehicles, as this could lead to parking violations and HOA fines.Don’t forget to screen pets, too!
