I started with multifamily but price expectations have gotten out of control.Just refinanced my multi-tenant retail property and pulled out much more cash than I put in. 

Custom lighting we like to install reading lights in primary on the bed wall people dig those wire for it and let them pick the lights..

@Lindsay Davis"$150,000 can buy you a tenant-ready 3 bed, 2 bath single-family home in a B-grade neighborhood.

When it comes to AirBnB I have found its location, number of beds then amenities like kitchens and outdoor spaces that attract quality guests and demand higher prices. 

I need some advice from experienced RE investors.We want to buy a 6 bed/ 5 bath in a great area (top zipcode in the area).Thinking of splitting into 2 units but re-zoning permits are almost impossible in area.Ideas of converting to AirBnb or community center?

This is not unusual in the retail real estate agent world. 

We have record employment, all of our retail is booming, housing is still selling.

So at this point, IDK, I think maybe the Boggy-man looks under his bed to see if I'm there, lol.   

The one performing is retail strips Fund.Long term I anticipate that 2 of my three MF deals will still turn a decent return (not the heyday level returns, but still high single/low double average annual return).  

what you're proposing, while possible, is incredibly difficult and highly risky, and i don't know how you would do it completely remotely with no plans to visit or set up a team.i think i've said this in other posts, but there is tremendous demand for inventory right now among both retail buyers and investors.
