That way you can market it for sale with plenty of time to spare without risking going beyond the 3 yr deadline!

The downside is they are not as efficient, nor compact, as something like brazed plate or tube-and-shell exchanger.

Thanks for taking the time to introduce yourself to everyone in the community.Getting into a Multifamily property as an O/O is a great way to get started, I did a similar thing but with a SFH/renting out the spare rooms.

This will be especially true as I am winding down my current occupation/business, I will appreciate having a bit of a purpose for the spare time on my hands, until I figure out what I am going to do with myself in my next chapter.

In my area I usually end up renting to single parents, older couples(meaning grown kids or last kid getting ready to leave in 2-3 years) or grandparents who wants a spare room for when grandkids come visit.

Maybe someone can tell me of the negatives of my thought process but I personally would rather my tenants make themselves a few extra keys to have as spares or give to a someone they trust just in case they need.

Also he is an artist with wood in his spare time.

they dig down to more solid or heavily compacted ground.  

Of course, you want to make absolutely certain you don't overleverage and you have some spare cash, but I think the question is really how careful you want to be.

That is the same reason I am on this website and spending all my spare time reading and researching real estate investing!
