My fiancee and I (our wedding is postponed due to COVID-19) both work full-time at a university and we bought our first single family property (turnkey) in Indiana (just north-east of Indianapolis) earlier this year.

We like the idea of multi-family, but don’t know how to find them or by them.ultimately we have this super random dream of turning barns into wedding reception venues (my wife’s good at that kind of thing).

If it matters she moved in after me and the tenant before her had no such claims and welcomed the me to the building when I moved in and told me that we each use the front porch.

For our first home, we're trying to tell our cute story (engaged at the beginning of the pandemic & can't have a wedding for a couple of years, so buying our first house instead).

Unlike you, I am not married, but I am planning my wedding; and as my fiance now joins my life, I would like to turn my life around for the better.I also saw you sent me a friend request, thank you!

I find recurring themes and strategies that come up over and over, gaining the knowledge from multiple sources has helped to narrow my focus and weed out the strategies that don't seem to fit me and my plan and also has helped me to discern what information seems to be bogus.

Pick a color theme and try to maintain in throughout the house.

Then be creative for their current use, wedding venue, events, horse boarding, mental health retreats for the rich, drug rehab for the rich. 

Also on the theme of geography as giving populations advantages, according to where populations live, there's the book, entitled, Why The West Rules, For Now, by Ian Morris, 1st published in 2010, & he's now a Prof. at Stanford University.

Really 75-100k if you want to do it right and get the style and theme the way it needs to be. 67% will be a high occupancy with an averaged furnished house.
