@Angela Simon, If it wasn't your son there is a small chance that your accountant would let you purchase the 50% of the property you don't own. 

After about 10 years I have accumulated a fair amount of small multifamily properties. 

Is the property & tenants mostly easy to manage or is it taking up a lot of your time?

I have a preference for cash-flowing properties, but they are hard to find in my area.

@Celli Mowery looked at several properties on Zillow in Mt Vernon, not seeing anything attractive.Also, only a single rental!

Quote from @Trent Reeve: Quote from @Jay Hinrichs: Quote from @John Underwood: At our 3 bedroom Lake House we have both.At our 6 bedroom Pigeon Forge Cabin we have 2 drip coffee makers and don't have a Keurig.So I agree it depends on your property. seems to me coffee pods would be much cleaner and easier on the host ? 

The reality is that imposing expensive and time-consuming sprinkler installation requirements will drive property owners to either scale back necessary renovations or avoid permits altogether.Currently, when owners propose substantial renovations, they are often informed that their projects will require sprinkler systems, which can cost around $45,000 for a typical three-decker.

I believe the property have appreciated in value just based off recent sales in my market area.

.: REI nation is a reputed turnkey provider but they just sent me pictures of the property and asked me to choose.

Cost efficiency while enhancing the design and functionality of the property What was the outcome?
