I trained my replacement for about 6 months and handed over my baby, the investor relations department, it was a bittersweet moment.

I plan to do a mini split if I buy it myself.

You might find that installing a mini-split system, properly insulating, and ensuring the finishes match the main home’s quality will make a difference in how the appraiser views it.

However, as I mentioned in my original post, my immediate goal is to move out of our current townhouse into a larger single-family home that better suits my family’s needs (we have a baby and a big dog).

With this additional expense, that would mean depleting the savings we’ve worked so hard to build over the past few years.To add to the situation, my wife and I are expecting our first baby in just two weeks!

Have a baby, and gallop into the sunset (while still making calls to PM's)INTEREST:I first got interested in Real Estate Investing because of the potential financial freedom it can provide to me and my family.

Great post @Garrett Brown, we have a vibey outdoor hang with string lights, plants and seating by a mini gas fire pit.

If someone was willing to rent to you with 5 dogs and the stray and her babies are short term, they may not have a problem. 

That is like trying to sell a tofu burger to an animal rights activist having to disclose that the building attached to your tofu burger joint is a slaughterhouse you also own where they slaughter baby cows, and using the exact knife that slaughtered the cow to cut the tofu.

Just north of town 10 blocks they built about 100 mini houses about 300 square feet.
