Recently married and my wife is on board with the real estate ideas that I constantly write down and tell her about in the middle of the night lol.My goals in real estate are to own my first investment property within a year of now, and to own 3-5 within 3 years (with good cashflow of at least 400 each).

You are making the case that requiring this would cause the property to continue to decay since no one will be able to take on the task that the City is trying to require.You'll probably have to end up getting them both to be on board with keeping the nonconforming use, but if you can get one then they can become your advocate for what you want to do.

It’s great to have you on board.

Young guys willing to make the sacrifice to house-hack, but are having a hard time getting the GF on board because that beat up duplex in a C class neighborhood is not what she had in mind when she imagined her first house lol. 

(On boarding, office support, mentors, etc)2) What are the required fees?

Long-time lurker here finally hopped on board.

They jump in head first gain true investors on board then fumble due to lack of knowledge.

Otherwise I’m on board 100%.

I am sure some others will provide great advice on what solutions exist.One key will be getting your wife onboard.

I’m trying to get a friend onboard and he’s skeptical... basically he’s wondering why more people isn’t jumping to invest in mobile homes if the ROI can be upwards of 150%.
