My father did this in Portland on two properties, for elderly people I think. 

Go check and see what others are charging.I guess I have to ask what does it offer that would make people want to stay there?

I'm just beginning but am considering a bigger commitment in the next five years or so by accessing some or even all retirement funds to buy a building (I'm sure people have thoughts on whether or not that is a good idea!).

I'm always down to chat to people about REI, especially in the Pittsburgh market.

Uncomfortable silence will get people to talk.5.)

Looking forward to meeting likeminded people :) 

I got tired of paying to live in other people’s homes.

The credit committee is usually made up of local people who are familiar with the market they are in.

My dad used to manage other people's properties but eventually quit because the money wasn't worth it and he always ended up prioritizing their properties so as not to get any hassle from them.Another way to approach this might be to go all in on one project yourself and see how far that money gets you. 

Based off videos and research i have done lots of experienced people say the homes should be under $10k.
