I studied RE development and investment for my MBA, I am the building inspector for the town where I live and I worked as a contractor before switching to only working on my own deals.

I am wanting to build passive income How did you finance this deal?

To simplify the existing lease I thought about asking the tenant if they would be ok modifying the addendums to get rid of the resident benefit package and the building protection plan. 

BP has done such a great job of promoting SFR investing to the masses, that those masses have pushed up real estate prices to where it's now DIFFICULT to cashflow right away.Keep going, but understand you won't get rich in real estate overnight - it's a long-term wealth building strategy.For the short-term, recommend joining a few in-person investor meetings if possible, otherwise online ones.

As those prices fluctuate, there is a builders somewhere putting his feet up waiting to see a market turn more active because the last thing he wants to do is start paying crews to build houses, that could drop in value while he's halfway through the build process and losing equity halfway into the project.

I have 8 buildings with possibly 9 lines that I would like to get a package deal on sewer scopes of all the lines.

What ever area you look at make sure to look at the age of the building.

This deal aligned perfectly with my strategy to build equity and cash flow while leveraging hard money financing and refinance opportunities.

Besides, it's always a good idea to build a good relationship with the Planning and Building departments.
