Add Storage units, adding a place for tenants to store stuff like bikes and toys will give them extra room and they will pay for having that convenience. it will increase your bottom line, plus bring in tenants that can't get that in other rentals. good option if you can fit more storage units and charge more than you would make for a single bedroom apartment.

I have been reading articles for a long while now and toying around with numbers on my Spreadsheet about potential properties.

You got to start with Getting to Yes.

I jettisoned many of the toys and hobbies I had accumulated during my single days.

Underneath the house there is a lot of junk, everything from broken cinder blocks and insulation to toys and cat urine.

To get down to numbers, I have $30k in savings, $20k in personal stocks I've been toying with since 2016, a few grand in crypto for the heck of it, an IRA, and 401k that I put 10% of every paycheck into that I would never withdraw from (company contributes 1.5% on top of that).I'm heading to Indiana this weekend to look at some $20-30k SFRs that need around $10k of TLC, and also some duplexes in the $60-100k range.

a friend of mine loves this he sets up the property rent to owndown payment of 10k sometimes as low as 5k depending on the prospective buyer and credit reportthey stay in the property for 5 years with the balloon at the endhe also sets them up with a loan officer and analyst for a monthly fee of 75 to make sure they stay on track to get the loan ready and there finances so they can purchase at the end of the termusually what happens is that will not follow the plan for them to purchase and they default on the loan then he sets it all up againnot only does he get the down payment but he also gets the payments for up to year 4that's when they have saved enough money and also bought a new car, toys and other crap instead of staying focused on the home purchasethere debt to income changes and they cannot qualify for the purchasemany ways to make rent to own work this is just one scenarioenjoy

My family has been toying with getting property in St.

I'd need to acquire/build the following (local zoning and permitting allowing):-A 10-15 acre parcel-Main gated entrance with office building nurse's station and leasing offices-Possibly a second gated entrance at the opposite end for emergency services-A common area with garden surrounded by a circle of buildings including a dining hall, cafe, "office building" (fake offices with toy phones, etc), small movie theater and a rec center-A large, two story apartment building with medical facility (for those with late stage conditions)-Two small "suburbs" of tiny homes for higher functioning residents (stand alone studio apartments with no kitchen for safety reasons).  

I'm also toying with STRing both units.
