Ok, not completely closed; they allow you to push data in, but then your stuck to see and manipulate in a very limited way.For me this is a deal breaker because if you can't quickly and easily check on the health of your business, you are wasting time and stifling your growth. 

You need to know the law like the back of your hand, have policies and procedures in place to deal with problems swiftly/accurately/legally every single time, and be prepared to deal with tenants that push back hard or try to take you to court.

There is a soundproofing drywall quietcrete i think, as well as insulation panels, sound dampening paint, and green glue is a compound that you can roll on as well. likely there is no insulation or it wasnt installed well. air gaps equal noise.  

Be honest—are you waking up early and controlling your day, or are you rolling out of bed and playing catch-up?

Quote from @Alex Moazeni: You are making the common mistake of allowing a tenant to push you around.This is your property.

I’d also look into using an FHA 203k renovation loan, allowing me to buy something unqualified for a standard mortgage, which would weed out a lot of competition and push the price lower.
