> 12-unit in Eastlake I bought for $2.5m last year... pulling in $26k of rent/month> Individual DADU builds cost ~$325-350k to build, and I'm renting them for $3,200 - 3,550However, I'm also investing in Wenatchee which is much more cash flow friendly:> 30-unit apartment bought for $4.2m and renting for $38k/month> 33-unit townhome community closing this April for $6.3m and will rent for $70k/monthInvesting in RE is a legacy and the ability to show my kids what we are doing holds just as much weight as the rent checks we net. 

I know I am just feeling a bit more weight right now.

Persons feeling the squeeze of prices, press employment for more income to counter-weight.

My second one was worth his weight in gold, but his company fired him for reasons that weren't due to performance (I believe him), and the one that replaced him is AWOL as we speak.So, I believe in interviewing property managers just as I would as if I were hiring someone to work for me at a company.  

I have seen some investors break the work down into categories with their own weight.

Be sure that the installer foam fills the weight pockets each side of the window, otherwise you won't get all the bang for the buck on the insulation/energy side and you'll still have drafts. 

I'm Ken McElroy's Brand Manager so I'm not sure if this will hold any weight, but I'm happy to tell you about the course and what it contains.

I think there is real world  experience and then there is theory.Just like new investors on here giving advice about buying property when they have never bought any is weighted differently from those with actual experience.Self defense is the same way.

A big issue I remember is the weight of the countertop and that causing issues with having to beef up the bottom cabinets and structures to carry the load.Once you factor all of that in it is just quicker and easier to do laminate or a slab of granite and throw it in.

You have to rank #1 for these effects to manifest themselves.So now you have your lists of advantages and dissadvantages.Based on this list you pick one by giving each advantage and dissadvantage a score, based on what is most important to you.Google "weighted decision matrix".
