We have many doors in EAST Cleveland (and of course elsewhere) with little to no issues.

Maybe you rent a garage separately for additional income.

And cools the space around it - perfect for a socal garage or laundry room.

# doors?

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases.

. ($1300 for plans if only a wall--I pay $3500 for a site visit by them and close to full gut of kitchen/baths/door moves/wall removals)  Do not skip the permit!!!!  

Honestly, In the grand scheme of things, either option is going to be fine.If your goal is # of doors, then use the lever, if your goal is increased cashflow in retirement make the extra payment I'd say.If you really want to make more payments, make biweekly payments of half your monthly mortgage ;)You wont feel it as much.

We are buying the lot next-door and we’re building an eight bedroom house that is three stories and will have a roof top pool, where you can look out and see the ocean.
