I am a firm believer in going after the things that interest you. 

Best of luck to you.

Estate Planning and Wealth Transfer: If you're building a portfolio to pass down to your family, life insurance ensured your heirs inherit your properties without the burden of estate taxes or forced sales to cover expenses. 3.

So I will be learning the PM piece as I go as well.  

Hello Derick, If you have not already done this, I suggest the Build Your Investing Team> menu/link at the top left of the page on Bigger Pockets and go through the process of building a team.

thats basic list one can add.Value add /  New construction / land entitlements/ Timber / Minerals/ Lendingetc etc.. far more ways to actually make money than just buy and wait for rental income to payoff debtl 

if it’s illegal today, I don’t want inspector to show up and have more problemsI read about houses build before 1957 so if in current condition I would go to the city to get permitted, would 7ft ceiling still be a problem?

You'd want to work with the REIT sponsor and your CPA to understand the expected timeline for this a bit more.  

I go by city actions and not what is written.  

We currently have 3 going, and they are all legacy, inherited tenants.
