I have a proof of concept web page and can provide a personal story and touch.

The local hardware stores and big box stores sell materials, they hire local workers.

How they've been in the property for 2 months storing their dogs there with no rehab movement, while putting sweat equity into it, but haven't addressed the foundation or any rehab issues yet.

Stores, schools, all such developments are based on rooftop density in an area.

However, I use a local used appliance store and can have another appliance swapped in for the broken one within 1-3 days for $300.

But I have been looking into splitting the duplex into two condos (yes I know it is a lot of work) and I could probably get 325-350k for each, netting me 650-700k.Number:* Mortgage interest 2.5%* Mortgage principle 240k* PITI $2100/month* Rent 2200/month (current tenant on a two year lease)* Potential rent on my side $2400/month * 100k HELOC at 11% (fixed) (not currently being used)* est additional cost to split the dueplex 75-100k (conservative, probably less)     *new siding 30k (just put on a new roof this year)     *legal 10-15k     *fire proofing 15k     * 15-40k for stuff I am not aware of or underestimated on* some of the appreciation is external from the home     *big grocery store put in 3min away     * newly paved road in front of my house     *a building that was falling down across the street has been torn down          * Still a vacant lot with the foundation exposed and fencing around it (so more local improvements are on the way)Part of me wants to take the money and run but man I love that 2.5% interest rate and the $2000/month cash flow (including taxes and capx)I have thought about 1031 exchanging into more rentals, but I would like to pivot into storage units.

 - you can furnish fairly cheap (offer up, CL, buy nothing …, thrift or consignment stores, etc) but it take more effort and more calendar time.  

It might be different if others were involved.Consider an umbrella insurance policy instead of the web of LLCs and corps.

If it’s an item that needs time or needs to be picked ip at the store I send the case worker my pick up order information in an hour and stating that the guys are working on it.

You can buy it at your local hardware store.
