THE VISION: With 130 units and 8 buildings plus a wedding and event venue, our vision includes revamping this space into a dream hotel.

You want to build a relationship.  

The tenant was in the building when I bought it (I've owned the building for 2 months) and he claims to have an insurance policy covering them.My insurance company is saying they'll drop my policy on the building if the pitbulls are there even with the tenant's insurance policy.The dogs are very sweet but the tenant lets them run free and they often go into the neighboring property, resulting in 4 malicious animal violations from animal control in the past year.Any thoughts on how I should handle?  

I am currently employed as a project engineer working for a GC that builds multi-family projects.

I have a few brand new homes popping out of the ground in Canby Oregon.. msut of Portland proper is very old the new builds tend to be skinnies or expensive . 

May not be your cup of tea but they are cost efficient and they work to add passive income at a fraction of the cost to build a SFH.There are a few "Tiny Home" builders in Tampa and Manatee doing a ton of business.  

Helps with your debt to income, better opportunities at cash flow, and typically requires less down to purchase.In regards to challenges, I usually build in an extra 10-15% to deal with things that I can't see behind the walls, including dry rot, electrical or plumbing issues, etc.

HelloOver saturated STR in Ohio markets have caused many STR to drastically lower costs to as low as  $100 for entire bedroom home.My are higher and I'm not competitive with the lower cost Abnbs.I also feel hotel industry are mass building new hotels to compete with str. 

Based upon the cost seg studies of my clients, a building will typically yield 25-30% of the total cost that can be segregated into personal property and land improvements.

It sounds like you’ve got an exciting plan mapped out, and I love that you’re thinking of starting a property management business while building your own portfolio—that’s a smart move.
