People wanting to be rich today look at it.

I'm sure many people will disagree strongly. 

I focus on mid-grade quality items that are durable and pleasant to use yet not so nice that people are tempted to swipe them and are then expensive to replace.

I've done this with my properties because I'm well known in my small town and don't want people to know what I own.

Things just require more ongoing expenses percentage wise out of state because you have to pay people to do everything for you and you will have a longer time building relationships with vendors even when getting decent referrals. 

Sadly, both of them escalated this conflict and started creating domestic disturbances so we had to move both of them out.Assuming the upstairs family is being reasonable, I suspect no matter what you do, the people downstairs will never be happy.  

Multifamily is considered residential since people reside in the structure. it's part of contractors license law, our testing is on it and violating can and will result in punitive actions.

I would not borrow from ANY lender I learned of over the internet unless I knwe personally people who had used them. 

Each agency has slightly different criteria and limits but the process for setting rents is roughly the same and has 2 components. 1) The tenant voucher is based on the tenant’s specific finances and number of people within the family unit.  

Then, I would share with them how you manage properties and what your expectations are for them as well as you - essentially explaining how you work with people renting from you.
