Hi, welcome yes investing in real estate in is a great decision if you have any questions please reach out.

Hi there,Congratulations on your decision to purchase your first small multifamily property Here are some answers to your practical questions:### Cleaning Common AreasYou should clean the common areas regularly to keep the property tidy and safe.

How would these design decisions affect revenue?

Personally, I would put most of it in passive real estate syndications - but I am a full time passive investor so that makes the most sense for me.The first decision you would need to make from my perspective is whether you want to invest passively or actively (your profile says rental property investor, so I would assume you are currently an active investor). 

Physician loan programs can swing wildly from lender-to-lender because most physician loans are portfolio programs which allow each bank to make their own decision on guidelines.Many of the programs will allow you close within 30-60 days of your start date as an attending physician.   

I was feeling paralyzed making decisions about what to do, and no joke within 3 weeks of finishing this book I had decided on my next step and was under contract on my first flip property!

feature=sharedYes, it's unfortunate you are in this situation, but blaming others for your naive decisions won't change anything.PROPERTY ADVICE: you didn't mention if the tenant is now paying on-time, sporadically or if you're evicting them.Because you still want to sell, let's assume they are not paying on-time.1) Can't sell to an owner-occupant while tenant-occupied.- Owner-occupants will pay the highest price for a property.

In terms of what I learned from reading Rich Dad/Poor Dad a couple years, I think I land in the Poor Dad philosophy and I'm looking to break out of that a little, but also am risk-averse at my core. 

Always dig deeper into the numbers (cash flow, CapEx, etc.) before making any decisions. 2% is my norm :) Are these section 8? 

You want an accountant who can help you strategize and who is responsive when you want to know the consequences of the financial decisions you are making throughout the year.Good luck.
