Your budget can not dictate the safety of the project and your relationship with the town and permitting.

While comfort should be prioritized, extra amenities like gym equipment isn’t necessary.

Quote from @Joe Yobaccio: @Chris Seveney I am trying a simpler version of a loan partial, but want to keep my name on the note and Colllaterlize it for safety of a lender and would like some feedback on the terms. 

In my retail plaza I have always tried to prioritize tenants that cannot be replaced by online options - barber shop, spa, Subway, photographer, etc.

You must prioritize your mental health before spending money on real estate.

Lesson: in a pro-tenant law city especially, don't do illegal things, don't have fire code or safety violations and if you ask someone to leave, follow all local laws.

. - Make sure you get a security deposit and perhaps do a surprise inspection of their current home.S8 requires an inspection (mostly health & safety) before approving a lease and then annually thereafter. - Not something most landlords taking care of their properties have to worry about.There are limits to clauses they allow in your lease.

I have no prior experience in real estate, however, am fortunately enough to have access to sources of income besides a fixed job salary that provides me additional CF and a long-term safety net.

Did you ever feel like your safety was an issue?  

A 32-year-old would never insult a politician in person, but they have no problem getting nasty from the safety of mom's basement.If profiles were verified and public, then we would clean things up a bit.
