I like these properties because the entrance point is low, there is no exterior maintenance.  

I'm a nurse...we are everywhere...just find a condo/townhouse close to hospital(20-30 minutes, tho I've seen people stay 45 minutes to an hour out for the right rate)...most of us prefer private entrance and no shared space but would be willing to give that up for a lower rate.

We built a construction entrance over the head of the pond.

I'm thinking of renting out the top floor (sec-8 tenants) as a two bedroom apartment with a separate entrance from the outside.

- the roads, under ground utilities,mans electrical service entrances.4.

We replace Windows with thermal pane, add 1 " outside insulation if not 6" walls, vinyl side, install click flooring, Sheetrock as needed, if paneling and tight and smooth we would paint over, new vinyl in kitchen, entrance, and bath, new light fixtures and make bath and kitchen look good as cheaply as possible.

Hi @Steven Gesis - When I rented a higher end place, I wanted:-A view with outdoor space (patio, balcony, etc)-Nice lobby and entrance - I could control the look of my home but not the common area so having this updated and clean meant a lot to me.

The walk in floor is as big as our current home but there is a complete 1bd 1 bath apartment in the basement with its own entrance that we could get around $500/month.

The second unit, is 1235 Bell street (which also happens to share the name of the property under JEFFCO records) and this comes with approved ADU which is where I live and then rent out the top.The unit has separate entrance, separate bathroom, kitchen and entirely different living space.I never see my tenant who lives in 1235 Bell Street top unit while I live in the basement unit, so my lease is an official lease not a “roommate” lease so essentially providing “rental” not “boarder income”.The challenge: Lender does not want to consider rents from either units in evaluating my debt to income ratio.

. = Tells us where to invest2 - How Money Works = Tells us How to Invest3 - Developing a REI Business/REI Plan = Tells us When to Invest (and in What)Some examples of the "themes" would be (with sub-topics):1 - Wholesaling (how to wholesale foreclosures, building lists, etc...)2 - Lease Options (Sandwiches, contracts, etc...)3 - Strategies (entrance/exit, Land Contracts, Notes, etc...)4 - Commercial (NNN, Medical Housing, Student Housing, etc...)5 - Treating REI as a Business (partnerships, Power teams, out of state investing, etc...)...just to name a few.It took a while to develop where we are right now, and will take years to get where we may be years from now....since we are always adding/subtracting, and inventing new systems based on changing money, markets, etc...REI is just an example of problem solving, with dollar signs.Our tagline is "Knowledge Taking Action"...so every event has a section of it devoted to "action plans" based on the theme/topics.
