It's loaded with great information on almost every type of RE business.

Longer term rents may come from snow cone, hot dog, coffee type vendors working out of vehicles or trailers.

Folks need to go from a bedroom to and from a bath without having to pass my the neighbor who popped in to borrow coffee.

Hi Anthony, One other option, if you are running a newer Mac, is to load Windows on your Mac, then you can run windows based applications right on your Mac.

So I'm meeting up with a experienced investor for coffee later.

We tried to keep all of our properties in the beginning and fix them up, rent them out, etc.. but the work load involved was way to much, and much easier just to seek investors to buy our properties.

There are loads of renters staying in one place for years.

@Sam EricksonBe sure to check out the Milwaukee meet up this Saturday @ 9 am at Stone Creek Coffee downtown.

You have to determine whether there are any utilities used in that garage, and whether they have been properly separated so that other tenants do not foot the bill for the garage - at least you have to do that in PA because PA has foreign load utility billing that puts the entire utility bill on the landlord even if just a tiny bit of the utility is shared.You also have to beware of the use that a garage tenant wishes to have; I had one person looking for a garage so that he could butcher hunting kills there ...See if any garages are listed on CraigsList to get an idea of potential rent amounts.

Does it make more sense to continue loading up on the conventional loans while I can making sure I have plenty of insurance coverage until jumping over to the commercial side of things using LLCs?
