My mom had a fire start in her garage over the dryer lint.

House has 4 car detached garage, had same tenants for 4 years now.

Most cash flow or door chasers fail to understand this and that's what leads to bad investment decisions.  

Maybe I am missing the big picture on this one but I’m not ready for several door properties which would be a higher and easy 1031.  

I am just getting started out in multi-family investing, so would like look into smaller apartment complexes (less than 10 doors).

You can collect applications and then choose the "most qualified" applicant, but that's opening the door to Fair Housing complaints.

Have you knocked on the door and had someone answer and say I have a lease on this place and are paying for it.

There is a newly built Class A 47 unit rental property  Sky View at Crawford ( lease up from 0% to hopefully 100% and value add by garage parking, valet trash etc ) by ​Skyview Capital, a DFW based Commercial Real Estate Development and Acquisition company as General Partners.

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

That guy got caught building a garage without a permit in March 1996 and had a stop work order issued.
