Talk to your neighbors, get them on board for your project as the first step. 

I have some practical questions:1) How often do you clean the common areas?

Find Brandon's videos on YouTube for the "four square" method of analyzing homes and practice.

So you could give them a 30-day notice that you are taking the garage back, but I think that's bad practice.

I have been thinking about investing into real estate for a few years and have started taking the first steps toward that goal recently.

We try to go 1 step further than the national builders we are competing with.

The areas you are looking in are a step below the most expensive so I have no doubt they are higher, but you are also looking at a small sample size when you only look at homes available for sale now.

One of the reasons why I’m bullish on real estate investing is because I am more afraid of the “what if I didn’t invest” rather than the “what if it goes wrong.”Yes, I could fail and lose everything I started with, but I’d still be farther along than if I never started at all.I’d have the knowledge, skills, and lessons that only come from taking action.Every misstep is a step forward when you’re learning and adapting.The real risk isn’t failure, it’s standing still and letting fear hold you back.Take action!!!

But you are many steps away from this so please do more research on LLCs.

To take your point a step further, not all businesses are sellable.
