Purchase price: $204,000 Cash invested: $50,000 1300 Sq ft 3 bedroom 2 bath with an large 2 car garage sitting on a solid acre of land in Clayton NC.

I'd focus on 150,000 sq ft and up deals so you get the densities you need. we just proposed 84 units on a lot that is 4500 square feet in Columbus Ohio with reduction in parking from 111 cars to 0 and we will lease off site parking. shift parking off site to save money on garages or push it into public garages. if the numbers work build structured parking which most the time they do it just depends on the deal size. if you want to sell to institutional investors you need at least 100 units in my opinion but the sweet spot is like 150+. in downtown columbus our market you can get about downtown unlimited height land for 1.5 million an acre.

Unlike a car, you often cannot repossess the work done. 

Thank you for your response, My current income is about 75,000 a year, My credit card debt total is approx 40,000.00 which consists of 2 car payments and medical expenses. about 6000.00 of it is money I loaned or I guess gave to family and friends, Not to mention the cash I have loaned or given away, I am going to stop being a leech and start to put my needs first, I will get there eventuality!!!

Do you have  a While Life policy you can take a loan out, although I’m totally against them.Do you have paid off cars or toys you can hock?

You will know automatically if the lender is trustworthy based on client remarks and closings. 

Now property management takes little to no time and rent is deposited into our account automatically.

It could mean talking to folks who lost their job or need to pay medical or car bills.

hi all, i’m newish to BP boards, thank you in advance for sharing your opinions + experience.i’m looking for opinions about how helpful an additional sleep number is in the income + rentability of an str.i’m potentially purchasing a 3 bedroom, 2 bath property which i will STR + also live in part-time.ideally, i’d like to have:*a king bed in the master bedroom*a queen bed in one bedroom*a queen memory foam pullout sofa in the third bedroomthis would be a 3 bedroom that sleeps 6this is my preference for:*general look of the house / not a house full of beds*number of guests/noise/cars*septic*would allow me to create a cute ‘chill out’ space in an extra bedroom-sized nook elsewhere in the house, which i think would be appealing to travelers.
