It's an 1890's Queen Anne that was chopped up into an upper apartment with existing long-term tenant, and a hair salon downstairs that I converted into a 3/1 Airbnb.

The house is a fixer upper, needs leveling, pier and beam so not as pricey as slab.

I agree with Angie, maybe take the upper level because of noise. 

Like so many topics in the building/housing space, there are two valid sides to all of these coins, and finding where equilibrium is between those sides is a very difficult job for our governing bodies.

If you want a fixer upper at a price you can BRRRR, you're either getting it from a wholesaler (if you're lucky as these are often as overpriced as the MLS these days) or sourcing it yourself off market.

The upper level would be overflow capacity in the peak season and a 4-week or 12-week rental to digital nomads in the off-season.

3) You should have started eviction process immediately, to keep the upper hand and PRESSURE on them to perform.

I see how hard a lot of my colleagues work, even in their 60s, and I want to start investing soon, so I don't have to work grueling overnight shifts when my body won't have as much strength in 20-30 years like it does now.  

Once you learned all the techniques, buy a fixer upper and start flipping. 

I've always found the deals to be in the fixer-upper category.
