@Orlundo HubbardThat is from all the gurus If you have a good deal the money will come and continue to flow.

I go every month to the meetings to stay motivated, continue to meet people and to learn. 

It's nice to have access to the MLS data and how easy it is to set up a showing of a property that I want to see.The downside is you will have to pay the broker, MLS, and NAR fees along with continuing education requirements to maintain your license which can sometimes not be worth it.The biggest perk for me was having people I know come to me to list their house for them but instead I would just offer to buy it and make the process easy for them.

Just brainstorming here, but once you move on from this property, then maybe you can continue to rent the garage separately.

It will get better as it continues to gentrify.  

Once the 1031 exchange is completed (again assuming 1031 compliance), I can continue to rent the property indefinitely or at any point after 2 years of rental, use it as a primary residence and thereafter living in the property for at least two years qualify to use the Section 121 Exclusion to eliminate capital gains entirely (gains estimated to be about $70 K, well under the $250,000 single filing limit).

If they fail to clean up or continue to violate the rules, give them notice and get rid of them.

I called back ONCE a day for a week to continue to try and get it resolved.

Or look at the property record cards in the towns you plan to invest for the multi families and see whose names/llc’s continually come up.

Maybe finance 50-70% and hire PM.I would stay in real estate, it is hedged against inflation and you can consume part of the cash flow instead of depleting equity, you can actually let the continue to grow.
