Quote from @Ashly Frasso: I would suggest this for the next time.1.

I always suggest buying fewer but better properties.

If looking into that market, I'd suggest starting there.

They can offer tailored strategies to help manage your rentals and carpentry business effectively.

We've also postponed any new capital raising activities since deploying new subscriber capital into distressed assets that we cannot resolve quickly does not make sense.This virus has definitely forced distressed-debt managers to become more creative and patient in a market that they cannot effectively control.

Perhaps it is hard for people from the states to understand - but the rule of law, and clarity in regulations etc really makes it so much more attractive than other places where you never know what new policies might come into effect forcing you to take massive loses etc.

A colleague of mine has bought two properties owner-occupied back to back in Arlington (with a 5% rate and a 7% rate) doing basement conversions and renting rooms, lowering his effective monthly payment on each property to sub 2K each time.

Open to suggestion, obviously. 

In addition to those I would also suggest making a commitment to going to local meet ups and networking events in your area.

Now my main issue is I need a fire detection system in a enclosed back porch that leads up to all three floors, but I don't know what's the minimum I would need to be compliant or that the fire marshall is suggesting what he wants or recommends.
