I’d love to learn from those a few steps ahead and stay connected with others on this path.Appreciate this space so much—y’all make this journey feel way less lonely. 

Hey Ofir, while your story is painful, you are going to be a lot better off than most because you have learned the harder lessons early in your journey and they will hopefully help you avoid the mistakes in the future and better understand how to navigate the space. 

Proximity to green space and parksLow crime… I mean some crime, obviously… just not that much. - It'd be nice to be near a decent Jujitsu academy... 

High-quality photos and virtual tours can also make a significant impact, allowing potential tenants to envision themselves in the space before even stepping foot inside.Remember, proactive management and attention to detail can transform your property into a thriving investment, delivering consistent returns and peace of mind.

It's an odd space, man.

If you were able to get it done with a mortgage broker or seller financing, I’d love to hear how it worked out.If you're still working on financing or considering other opportunities in this space, I’d be happy to connect you with a mortgage broker who’s familiar with sober living deals.

Don't forget that in some areas gentrification includes commercial space and you might note small entrepanurial restaurants and things like that which you'll not see in the more tough areas. 

I own the majority (~54%).We only have 1 tenant now.We are doing arenovation of the existing duplex and building an ADU complex, Once finished,we will have around ~5,000 sq ft of living space across 2 2 bed 2 bath ~1,000sq ft ADUs, 1 ~2,000 sq ft 3 bed 3.5 bath unit in the existing duplex, and 1~1,000 sq ft 2 bed 1 bath unit in the existing duplex.This will be a 4unit (s 4 tenant groups) property butunits will likely be split so that is not equivalent to only 4 individuals.There will be a total of 9 bedrooms and 8.5 bathrooms.Given the size ofthis property once completed and the amount of individuals potentially residingthere, AND given the multiple ownership dynamic, does it make sense to havethis in an LLC once it is completed or is that overkill given we only have theone property?

If you’re looking for BRRRR potential or cashflow, spots like East Lake, Brainerd, and parts of Red Bank or Hixson might be worth your time—but you’ll need to be strategic about tenant screening and renovation costs.Section 8 and workforce housing can work here if managed properly, and there’s active demand in that space.

I think what helped is offering what others don't; space for families, ample beds (but not crowding), nice outdoor space.
