I am looking at a 5 unit building that I want to do a condo conversion on. 4 units would be vacant 1 has a rent controlled tenant in there who does not want to move.

The greatest control point is before that first lease.

Based on limited information that is provided, I recommend saving longer, since you are unable to house hack. 

Belize is super picky on financial transactions due to US drug traffic monetary controls.     3.   

Does anyone have experience renting with a pool, water the pros and cons, door fix the pool or fill it in and sod the backyard, is there a way not to limit liability?

Hi ALL,Can anyone recommend a easy to use property management tool that we can use, so far, we have 4 rentals and growing, We will like to have better control of the information and have a easy system for tenants to pay rent.As always, thank you for your input!!

Instead:401(k) loans: They’re low-interest, and you’re paying yourself back.Roth rollovers If you can afford the taxes now, this gives future flexibility.Creative financing: I’ve seen clients leverage partnerships or seller financing to limit retirement fund withdrawals.One thing to consider: real estate markets today are vastly different from a decade ago.. so opportunities may require extra creativity.Have you looked into specific deals yet?

One issue I see with this is that I do not have a real estate license so I don't think that would create any issues with STR management, but as for MTR management it seems like there are certain limitations without a license - any feedback on that would be appreciated-Staging properties primarily for FSBO's as I know properties listed by realtors will typically have an in-house staging offering.

Pretty much everything I have seen and read is:Find out the sellers motivation/problem and speak to solving that issue.Give an offer but explain how you got your numbers.Other than that, it seems pretty limited for negotiating information. 

However, this may limit flexibility and take time to scale.
