It's not the data or the asset classes; it's you.You are often your biggest roadblock.Considering this and looking at your journey differently, you can break the stalemate.If you are new and want advice, you must be open to ALL advice, not just the kind that supports your first idea or asset class.

@Josh LemonsThey have a regulation A offering which is open to accredited and non accredited investorsThe great thing is they have to submit their offering circular and have it qualified by SEC as well as submit financial information etc.All this means is the information is readily available and if you do not understand it then I recommend engaging an attorney who can interpret it.

Hi @Greg Scott,I’ve been questioning that too, I know they’re in a tough financial spot right now so it’s entirely possible they don’t.

Also the majority of those costs to covnert to a 2nd unit will need to be capitalized and depreciated, but some things (new appliances, flooring, paint, kitchen cabinets) can be shorter year assets vs. across the full 27.5 and IF it turns out that unit is > 50% you can use bonus as well on those items.

Now if you want to buy and live there forever or you want a specific location or lifestyle or the amenities, might be something to consider, but not for investment....they're for living.Your best option right now depending on your income, is probably to buy at least 4bed house or 5 bedroom if you can make it work financially and rent bedrooms. 

I know people that are really good at their trade (plumbing, cleaning, electrician, etc) but they don't have financial discipline, they don't know how to market, they suck at customer service, they don't use tools to their advantage, etc.Cody Sanchez (lady in the video) buys different types of businesses and makes them profitable by applying basic business disciplines.

Financial independence is a worthy goal.

I'm looking to get their "package" which includes a Holding company, LLC Subsidiary​, Corporate Financial Program and an Estate Plan.

Additionally, I am financially prepared to sustain hard money loan payments for up to two years, which is realistic for resolving occupancy issues in NYC.
