The local who lives there but commutes 30-60 min to another community because they can’t find a job to support their family in their town.That same local knows that a 4plex would be great on that lot that’s been vacant for 20 years and that there are at least 4 families who could benefit greatly from that development.That local knows that Ryan’s plumbing and Katie’s electrical companies that service 75% of the town really needs a new flex space to use as a shop, storage, and parking for their business so that they aren’t working out of their garage and can hire a couple of locals to work with them at the office and in the field.Development is different in our small towns but if locals aren’t the ones doing it, and developers aren’t coming, what happens to our kids futures?

It takes a lot of planning and hands-on dedication to create real profit. 

I know that is a long pay back period but don't plan on selling anytime soon, plus you never know what nat gas prices will do. 

Indoor camera ONLY for the vacant period for safety/peace of mind then plan to remove once renting it out but will keep outdoor cameras. 

Partnering up with family that has trust in our track record boosts confidence and allows for continued business.

If you're planning to invest locally, I highly recommend it.

I'm thinking long term rentals will be a good retirement plan.

I was able to rent the garage to a seasoned electrician running his business through there only coming in and out to stock his truck once per day.I hope to be able to convert the second floor into an ADU as soon as Feb 2nd rolls around.

We're living in times when franchises go out of business overnight, but healthcare will never be since it is essential.
