@Mario Morales - it sounds to me like the primary thing you're putting out there is to not go for a 6+ unit property as my first property.

A lot of his videos talk about sealing the envelope of the home, which is going to fix a lot of your pest problems and also boost energy efficiency while you're at it.Just keep in mind all of these things come with a price tag.

After searching for 6 months, I had to start exploring out-of-state inventing to boost my networth. 

Finally, Columbus has seen an influx of new businesses, giving the real estate market a boost.

Also, by aware of extra parking, lower level kitchenettes, and outdoor living spaces as those can really help boost your returns and lower vacancies!  

In hindsight, I should have negotiated the interest only option to boost cashflow.

**not factoring in PM expense or reserves**Adding leverage can also boost returns and this example above will hold true with financing when comparing apples to apples cost of capital. 

Tyler,While this idea sounds simple and a good way to boost revenue initially, the risks outweigh the reward here for me.

@Mario Morales I rarely use tile here in our apartments.

Any insight into this moral delimna is greatly appreciated!
