The only “mindset” books I ever restated to were millionaire next door and every millionaire.

If you have a multi-family property, then you have to figure out how to make the tenants share the responsibility or you hire someone to handle it for them.You have to consider insulation, maintenance of weather stripping on doors and windows, servicing the boiler/furnace, winterizing sprinkler systems, disconnecting garden hoses from hose bibs, and much more.It's very risky to manage rentals from a distance.

Fire Dept arrives and garage door is melted, car is melted.Guests call us the next day and tell us the neighbors shot fireworks and hit the house and started the fire and we owe them for damages.We get 3 different camera angles from neighbors clearly showing everything. 

The neighbor who is renting the house next door did move it across the street and two houses down from the property (about 200 ft away).

In one case I converted the detached garage of a SFH into a legal ADU essentially converting it into a duplex.

electrical upgrades , plumbing,kitchen, roofing, shower, sewer,windows, doors, appliances.. plus I add the first 6month on the loan.My concern is that $18k as leftover in the escrow it should go back to the principal and I only  got  $15K the bank said that the rest is towards mortgage payments… ??? 

The homeowners use the back entrance to their home rather than their front door which is right next to my front door entrance and comes in directly in front of my bedroom which is noisy my front window is where they park their cars so coming and going in front of my  nice big bay window.

Purchase price: $213,000 3 bedroom, two car garage, fiberglass in-ground swimming pool, 0.5 acres

Remove all bedroom doors, except the room your mother will use for a bedroom. 

you won't be able to pull a permit. when someone lives in it and it doesn't have HVAC, plumbing, or electrical right and it burns down like another garage I tore down and someone lost their life in linden you'll get hit with a lawsuit. good luck. you'll also be the first person I've ever seen to get a second adu built in linden.
