It doesn't make sense to me that we all live in isolated dwellings and pay an arm and leg for separate utilities, not enough room to grow and share crops and rooms we mostly use to hibernate in.

@Nikki Closser similar story: we recently closed on our first investment property three days before closing on our new primary residence lol :-) We also relocated, sold our house in Los Angeles - which we had rented out with Airbnb and had built an Accessory Dwelling Unit in the backyard, and moved to Columbus Ohio.

Days after securing the contract on my unit I found out the corporate-owned units were all just sold; transaction closed and now part of public record.Based on the average price per unit that the new corporate buyer just paid in acquiring the majority of the rest of the complex, I should theoretically have significant instant equity on my unit, as soon as I close.So my questions are:It seems like a no-brainer to me that the managers/representatives of the entity that just acquired the majority of the condo/apartment complex ought to be interested in adding another unit to their holdings (same complex / same building as their own units). 

Maybe pull HELOCs out on those properties for when the market corrects itself and you can have some instant purchasing power at your disposal.

Thank you for that.I'm a little confused on the last bit you mentinoed about liability:I thought that landlord (rental dwelling) insurance is itself the liability insurance.

Must have a licensed contractor to remodel a home in which you will not be dwelling in our county.

While many people brag about the high returns they make the business comes with many inherent risks and it requires 27/7 work, worries, management and extra high management costs that long-term rentals and multi-unit properties don't have.With $125k to invest I would definitely invest in no less than a 4-plex where your profits are almost exponential when you increase rents and the rent increases result in both higher profits and an instantly higher re-sale value for the property.

Bigger Pockets gave me the knowledge to see the ROI instantly.
