This amounts to lost opportunity because if you had purchased RE, at the closing it can start producing return. 5) ADUs detract from the existing structure whether this is privacy, a garage, or just yard space. 6) this is related to number 1, but there are many more buyers looking to purchase homes for their family than there are RE investors looking to purchase small unit count properties.

I learned a ton of valuable info from my first rental and it gave me even more confidence to turn things up. 

I’ve been exploring buy and hold opportunities in my area, and I recently came across a situation I’d like some advice on.I’ve come across a property in my area that I’m very interested in, but I want to make sure I approach the situation the right way.

Very helpful and valuable insight. 

I am a current college student and gained interest in real estate as I am working on a project focused on finding ways to expand opportunities for real estate investors.

I like that, unlike with say trading for a hedge fund, I can create opportunities for others rather than solely line the pockets of someone richer (that being said I still intend to make money).

We do attempt to notify the owner before we make the decision and give them the opportunity to give input but keeping the property and tenant safe, and following the Tenant Landlord Laws are more important than getting permission. 

Focus on building cash flow and equity while targeting value-add opportunities to transition into shopping centers and strip malls over time.Good luck!

What I find to be most valuable: Ease of use, cost-savings and efficiency and here's what I mean: If using an interior designer to furnish your rental, they will hand you a list of supplies + furniture to buy and what I was able to do with Minoan is upload that list as a CSV file and then they come back with a quote of all of the items they can fulfill along with their respective discount. 

Look into Spokane's REIA chapter for networking opportunities and consider attending real estate conferences in the region.
