Hi Lamier and welcome to the BiggerPocket's Community!

Looking to start a granite and counter top business and was wondering if anyone has done this?

Signing the lease demonstrates they agree to the terms and then you can hold them accountable.If you don't do this, then the person named on the lease and paying the rent could disappear and you would have no legal authority to charge the remaining three for unpaid rent.

I live on the east coast.

Until i ran into it all, faced it, worked through it and got good at turning problems into profits. 

@Ricky Smith if you continue to expand, how will you hire help w/o a PMC set up?

We picked up the home for a large discount as the estate wanted to close the deal.

@Leon G.Man, it sounds like you’ve been through the wringer.

I feel like rates will come down over the next 6 months or so.Unless you find a screaming deal that you just can't pass up, then bide your time.

During that time I've often described the multifamily market as a traffic collision at a 4-way intersection where you had (lack of or negative) rent growth coming from one direction, and from the other directions: cap rates, expenses, and interest rates.
