Plus if you aren't forcing appreciation, appreciation is generally slow.Buy assets that are making some money today, doesn't have to be a ton; when and if the I/R drops, then refi and likely cashflow significantly better as you will have a better payment with higher rents.

I say you don't need to consider security cameras (or even trail cameras)- but you could put fake ones out or if you had wifi on site o(r wanted to go the sim card/monthly route), that's not an expensive option either.

However, it is still zoned as R-6 SFH.- The zoning office said the process should take 2-3 months and it is upto the zoning council and the neighborhood association if it gets approved or not.- No HOA and they were very accommodating.

Exception #2 would apply to your condition:"Within a dwelling unit or sleeping unit in a Group R occupancy, habitable spaces and hallways shall have a ceiling height of not less than 7' above the finished floor.

If you already come with the experience (i.e) r/e background experience, don't need one.

Acquiring more properties are the easy one after r the trend emerged.
