There’s nothing wrong with playing it safe, starting small, mastering your strategy, and then scaling up—especially when using other people’s money.That said, as others have mentioned, house hacking is a fantastic strategy.

Don't get me wrong I'm happy to help get you some estimates if that's useful hahah but still not something I'd recommend. 

Am I wrong?

Others opted not to.No, there is nothing wrong with paid advertising.

And the NNN leaves you only managing a long term lease rather than managing a property.And given your expertise, there's nothing wrong with a transition from farmer to landlord of the farmer. 

And your communications need to be very wise, meaning they can't come across the wrong way regarding tone, even when you're aggravated.

I think you are looking at the wrong places, insulating the floor wouldn't change much. 

Obviously, they have no intention of following the law & I wouldn't count on them to adhere to your lease provisions, either.Don't get me wrong - I love dogs & my pit (who went through the big doggie door in the sky many years ago) was the best dog, ever!

I wouldn't stand up if I knew I'd done wrong.

E.g. his surveyor was wrong and he built his new 15 million dollar building 1 mm too far into my land.
