Hello @Daniel Reed,The supposed advantage of multi-family properties over single-family homes is misleading when you look at financial performance.

I believe there can be great value in paid accountability as it really puts on pressure to perform and can provide you with someone to smack you out of paralysis.

Ensure vendors feel fairly compensated for their expertise.3.Feedback and Recognition: Provide constructive feedback on their work and recognize exceptional performance.

Immediately, I performed a Roth conversion.

Has this property been working for a while with a track record of income performance?

For example, the third Tuesday evening each month at a casual, static location which could be indoors or outdoors and flex based on attendance.

I don't know about your idea of maths but to me that says Midwest performs at 2X of CA. 

This might help you see the property’s performance in a clearer light.

The contract must contain:the contractor’s name, address and telephone numberthe approximate start and completion date, including any contingencies that would change the completion datea description of the work to be performed and the materials to be provided to the consumer, including make; model number or any other identifying information; and the agreed-upon price for the work and materialsa notice advising you that you have three business days to cancel the contract, unless during an emergency you waive the right in writinga notice that all payments received by the contractor prior to completion of the contract work must be deposited in an escrow account

And/or are you willing to take the risk of being sued by the seller for not performing on a legal contract (and losing your earnest money)?
