I then went ahead with the light remodel as planned and my wife and I moved into one of the units.

I currently live at the 9th St Light Rail in Hoboken and they are marketing the hell out of the new apts at Watsessing and Bloomfield Ave.  

Completely different process and loan product. 25% down is likely light, but it's market dependent. 

And with that decision came a lot of questions and anxiety.

Once you buy your first duplex, it is best to do a light-cosmetic SFH BRRRR or duplex BRRRRR.

You'll be light years ahead of the world in 8-12 years, just be disciplined not an impulsive floozy. 

I have light handy work from helping in my wife's business.

Do you have any thoughts on the put all of your assets into one LLC In light of this???

Me:  Can you go down to the cellar and check the pilot light?

I also really like that this is a U-shaped window unit which wraps over the window sill, meaning that you get to keep nearly all of your window's view and natural light, as well as it being theoretically harder for someone to break into the apartment by kicking in/pulling out the AC unit (ours is on the second floor, but the safety concerns for first floor units is definitely a consideration you'll want to factor in).Heating.
