In this room, I would have preferred to rip out the existing paneling, and do the electric and new drywall at the same time.

Quote from @Jimmy Rojas: I live in Arizona and homes here are sky high, youd be lucky to get %6 interest rate, I would be a 1st time home buyer, apart from being 1099 employed would Trumps real estate plans benefit the little guys like me? 

You can build the tool yourself but it will take time. 

I have listened to the Rich Dad, Poor Dad audiobook a couple times, but just a few months ago actually stated talking about it with my boss.

.: @Travis BiziorekAgree, I just think it's a question of timing.  

Any insights into the 5 condos for sale on S Gold St?

It took a lot to comply with their permit expectations and was frustrating and time consuming.

It has been frustrating but it also is a positive as I now can quickly know what deals to not even waste time on analyzing. 

We spend far too little time looking for small multi-family deals in this area for the reasons you listed although we would look closely at an off-market (perhaps owner financed deal).

Give them notice that their lease will end and you expect them out by a specific date/time.
