otherwise i agree with the others - 50K just isn't enough...Hi Nicholas I’m starting to rethink my strategy and what would be the best option to get my foot in the door.

There are around 50 similar commercial office spaces, when they were build in 1990's they all were sold at approximately $120 per square foot.

Actually I'd never touch that country with a 10-foot pole unless somebody pays me to invest there.

I get MTR leads from Airbnb and do bookings through the airbnb platform.I use apartments.com to manage my Long term tenants and collect rent.What do I need to keep in mind for starting off on the right foot for book keeping?

Can I have them sign a disclosure relieving me of maintenance and liability of the system?
