BUT I kept a room in every home so I could come & go plus lock up the tools etc I needed for rehab.

@Heather Kossila have you considered buying or building a STVR and then NNN leasing the property to a manager locking in a cash on cash return of 15%+.

If none of their leased space or area is being impacted then I don't think you are triggering any change to the enjoyment of the space they leased. 

This triggered more research as it should, and I am now part of this community. 

Im spending about $10,000 a month :0Obviously different running PM company, but:- PMS- Pricing- Automations (locks)- Web hosting- AirDNA pro- Docusign- EZCare- Channel Manager- LSI Tools- SlackProbably forgetting some. 

We have two or three projects we may pull the trigger on.  

One of the inherent risks of new builds is locking in an interest rate.

It's different in the US where you can lock into to a 30 year term (ie. the rate doesn't changed over the entire life of the mortgage). 

Banker told me to lock 2 years CD and give me 5% but I loan from them is > 7%....

Change to a non key entrance system, maybe like a motel, this saves changing locks, and tenants making keys for all their buddies.6.
