In addition to what others have said about down payment (25% is absolute minimum) and price ($1M is way too low to get a national tenant strip center, you need at least 3-4M) the biggest factor is your liquid net worth.

They won't typically "spot zone" to allow a factory in the middle of residential, but they would likely allow a commercial rezoning of a parcel to allow a convenience store to be built to service residents if the next closest one is 15 mins away (just a random number I threw in).

Speaking of 1.5%s, I modeled the impact of rental percentages from 0.8% to 1.5% in 0.05 increments on returns -- it's insane how weighty that factor is.

I rather work 16 hours a day in my office and in the street, doing something I enjoy, than work 10 hours in a factory doing something that cripples me with anxiety on the days I have to go in :/

Now the bad everyone of the homes i went in needed extensive repaires and the mere thought of moving out an older generation didn’t sit well, plus the opioid problem but most of the tenants are in manufacturing factories.

I live in the house and work a full time factory job.

Location will play a big factor. Is

The storms protect the windows from further damage besides providing the insulation factor. I

The other factor is time.

For me, this is more of a cash flow play than appreciation - the numbers seem to work, but I want to make sure the "headache factor" is reasonable here versus the return.
