I have been investing in the stock market for 5 years and I am now transitioning over to real estate after doing my research on real estate for the past two years.

Trying to get a split level (not a lot of sqft) on the market in the next three weeks and trying to decide on whether to open the wall between the dining and living room for a feel of openness or leave it as I have heard from two interior designers that the open concept is on the way out as we are more at home and liking our separate areas in the home.Pragmatically speaking the opening of the wall will be mostly a time drain with it being a load bearing wall and having to support the ceiling while rebuilding and all the drywalling necessary.

Wishing you luck as you learn and grow in this industry!

However, given todays market, it is definitely hard to find one. 

This will make it a lot easier to manage, will cost you less than buying on the market and typically you can get 1:1 rent returns.
