Interesting addition when you suggest that builders are the only ones to reap any profits. 

Architecture did a design and well respected contractor estimated the buildout of 4 plex would be an additional ~800k for total project cost of ~1M. it would be ~1.2M for the 7 plex.  

I was told I can pay $3k to remove the part of the tree that's hanging over the garage (in addition to the $3k deductible I'm already paying) or I can take the next door neighbor to civil court because the tree over the garage is actually dangerous to the tenant who lives there. 

I've had a hard time coming to that realization, it's a home with sentimental value that we figured we'd keep forever to give to our kids, but that's the parent in me.

A heloc can "never" be used as an "Asset" or Liquid reserve both required when you purchase additional rental properties. 

And I understand that i am college kid with no money or experience but then you see people like Rob Beardsley who dropped out at 20 and bought a 200 unit property through syndication and then you think, hm, maybe its possible. 

Luckily, we were able to fix the problem by adding an additional clean-out closer to the street, at the front of the property, and clearing out the roots in the pipes.

Additionally, I normally build in at least 7% of the purchase price going towards transaction costs when selling a property.

I have an offer in on a property setup exactly the same with big house in front and a little additional unit.

The Plus subscription would allow you to keep track of each property/project and produce reports for them individually in addition to keeping track of the entire business as a whole.
