In the multi unit buildings I put on lease "Each tenant shares responsibility for removing snow and salting on both walkways and sidewalk infront of property" and I have them initial before we execute lease.

I am renting two units (1 basement and 1 side unit) in my primary residence.

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment in Piffard.

Then, how does that look if you were to updated units and move out and rent both sides? 

That insurance lesson is gold, props to you for keeping perspective and having a solid team to help you navigate through it.

There was quite a bit of unused land and the zoning gave me some flexibility if I wanted to expand various aspects of the property.Also the self storage units were all below market rent and the seller was willing to finance at a decent rate with a 5 year balloon.

Beginning your real estate investing journey with a 2-4 unit property is a great way to get started.

Hi, Just bought a unit via LLC in Nashville area, specifically in Berry Hill to operate as STR.

. $150 cash flow on any rental especially a triplex is dangerzone imo. 1 month of vacancy of 1 unit could destroy a years worth of financial gains.  

Better to let a unit go vacant than to get marginal tenants.
