When we stopped finding good deals about 5 or 6 years ago, we just started throwing every penny into paying down the principal across our fleet (paying off higher interest rates first, obviously).Looking back, we probably should have invested that money in the stock market because our interest payments were about 4 or 5%, and we could have doubled that with fairly safe stocks, but that's water under the bridge I guess. 

I was looking at 4-plexes in Georgetown and saw that there were apartment buildings nearby recently renovated, pools, gyms, and other amazing amenities.

Under the "moisture and/or water" section the sellers stated "water in basement during heavy rainstorm of june 2023. repair completed, sealed wall, added downspouts" with no mention what-so-ever about moisture....nor other walls that were painted over to hide water damage. 

There are many buildings with systems reaching the end of their life - Galvanized hot water risers, leaking vent stacks, aging window systems, outdated elevator and fire safety equipment.

Which is used to keep pipes from freezing but guess that doesn't particularly mean it's a water/sewer line 🤔 .  

Are trying to get around that by pooling your money with your friends?

Sometimes if you are renting the unit and it is not insulated properly, then you hear footsteps and conversations from next-door units, so tenants complain a lot, but there is not much you can do.Also, one time the unit above mine leaked water into my unit, and the HOA said I needed to talk to people living above mine to fix the issue and they didn't have the fund to fix the bathtub from leaking into mine, so I had to pay for the repairs.Sometimes working with HOA and is painful, but other times is easy if the unit does not have problems

One unit has nearly the full back yard and has a lot of water irrigation.

Below are a few things I look for in a vacation rental cleaner:1) Hot Tub Maintenance: Since many of my properties include hot tubs, it's essential that my cleaners are experienced in testing water quality and adding the appropriate chemicals as needed. 2) Clear Communication: Real-time communication is crucial for me.

@Rob Ibarra Converting non restaurant space into restaurant space can be fairly costly from what I understand due to the need for larger than standard water lines to service the building and a general need for grease traps and other restaurant specific infrastructure.My first question around going from abandoned auto shop to kitchen is zoning, could you even get the use approved, and then are their any environmental factors in play?
