I definitely am leaning toward the first application being the one for me, and I appreciate the advice to make sure it is a good tenant in addition to just being a flesh and bones human who (might) pay me the rent on time.One of the advices I read above was to be a bit less discerning perhaps and get someone in the door for 6 months at a reduced rate, and then find my golden tenant in the summer.

I now completely understand the differences, and while consuming real estate content for the past week on this topic, I have also been leaning towards multifamily and this further cements that.

I am leaning towards Quality Arcades because it's smaller and has more games, but Dream Arcades seems more reputable.

I am really leaning toward multi family units.If it matters I am in Central Michigan.ThanksShawn Realtor's license is not going to help if you plan on buying and selling properties yourself.
