If there are any meetups in any towns within 2-4 hours Id love to come here you're knowledge.As a side note, i notice a lot of optimism about people moving to WY (and am seeing it ), what are others thoughts?

I just purchased a weird two-family house utilities-wise, and would GREATLY appreciate some advice. The house is c. 1910, about 1500 sqft total, both units app. the same size. Note: I had MassSave do an assessment, th...

@Chris Green everyone else above has added great advice to the situation overall, so I figured I'd just chime in with my two cents and a tale of my own experience in finding tenants willing to overlook my less than ideal parking situation that will hopefully bring you some sense of optimism for future tenant searches. 

OPTIMIZATION!

If you get a $500 card do not put over $150 on it - $50 is optimal 3 set up automatic payments for the full balance or very close 4.

You are both competing against financial advisor networks that want people to put money on Wall Street or in some crapola product to optimize their commission.

Of course speaking to them directly and finding a solution to their problem is the optimal way to go, but if they know they can live in the house until they die without repercussion, then what incentive do they have to sell if the mortgage is paid for besides leaving it to their heirs if they have any?

The additional equity in a property is just purchasing an income stream somewhere around a 5% of return at present by essentially buying down debt, which is a far inferior return to other alternatives, especially more property.Some will argue that more cash in hand month after month helps with liquidity issues and therefore reduces risk, but even a conservative diversified portfolio of equities and bonds has average returns far above buying down bank debt and at the same time gives more liquidity than equity resting in properties does.I'm in the camp who agrees that parking equity in properties isn't optimal. 

Especially to optimize RE returns via value adds, BRRRR, etc. is not passive.  

If the success rate that this business claims as 90%+ building ADUs for their customers is true, I can see the optimism.
