If you can, I might stick with the zero rent situation another year or so and save the 20% down if you don't like the dynamics of the 10% down.

It's a pretty dynamic business so books probably get outdated pretty quickly.  

I'm also curious how it will affect the single-family rental dynamic in Waukesha, where the tenants pay the water bill directly.Any way you can do split metering on your multi-family?

Compared to multi-family buildings in the same price range with 15-20 units that remain profitable with 3-4 vacancies, which are generally straightforward to fill, offices look more risky in almost every way.Attracted to offices having lower maintenance tenants, but that doesn't seem worth the riskier investment dynamics. 

Podio cannot do that.Insightly also has a much better visual representation of a deal pipeline than Podio.But, Podio is much more adapable to REI even though the learning curve is steep.

If it's an old leak that is not ongoing then visually you might see old damage but it will be dry.

The ONLY flaw that I can visually see is that the first floor has some beautiful tile (not sure on the type... it's really thick tile and kind of like stone or slate?)

@Jason SchimerMiami, FLis an extremely challenging market to invest in, and knowing all about the different neighbrhoods, dynamic market trends, emerging areas and prices down to the sq/ft for every zip code will make you succeed in Miami.I just did a 100% cash on cash ROI in Miami, FL in 92 days for a duplex in Little River area of Miami.

Eight out of 10 people can't visualize what a finished room will look like when they walk into a vacant property, so staging the rooms people will see first helps them feel all warm and fuzzy about your property from the moment they walk in.But don't just throw any furniture in the rooms.
