Ideally would be purchasing some land out there & using our building background to do something unique. 

I will not be surprised if a class action lawsuit gets filed again the building company and unfortunately Wagner because he is not playing the role that he should be playing.

Ideally the owner would handle everything and would have no need for a property management company with only this single duplex in their portfolio. 

When it comes to analyzing properties, I’ve developed a specific checklist to make sure the home fits both resident needs and operational goals:Square Footage: Ideally, at least 2,000 sq. ft. to ensure enough living space for residents and staff.No Stairs or Pools: It reduces liability and keeps the home accessible for everyone (this is just my preference).Corner Lots: I love corner lots because they often provide extra parking and outdoor space—both of which are critical for families and visitors.

This is where my mistake comes into play.
