You have to commit to looking at deals until you find one that suits you.

But for these small, "executive office suites", there's not typically any moving of walls or any build-out at all.

All other things being equal, if you went with the 2nd applicant and the 1st applicant filed a Fair Housing Act discrimination suit against you, what would be your defense for not having picked the 2nd applicant?

I did do a load of research and spoke with numerous attorneys who specialize in condo law before hiring one to file suit on my behalf, last resort when the board had little incentive to resolve the issue.  

So I can take the project management and apply it to other things.... like how I manage all of the property managers who landlord my others properties for me and I keep all of that running smoothly.So mix your interests and strengths and follow those, and then just be aware of what may be your weaker suites.

What ever suits you best.Best of luck,Mark

A good strategy is to compare areas and see which best suits your situation and then become an expert in that neck of the woods - find the best investor-focused realtor, etc.About your second question, I am not a lawyer or accountant so you will need specialist advice there. 

Market dictates.Is it a legal apartment or a mother in law suite.
