Adding smart home features and aesthetics to make the spaces trendy as well as very livable, they have been a hit with potential buyers at the open houses.

Omnichoice by Healthier Choice would be my only choice because it has a 70+ sound rating and is a closed cell urethane which is moisture resistant. 

Provide 60 days notice and give the resident a choice (1) remain in their (unrenovated) unit and sign a lease at market rent (2) move into a renovated unit and sign a lease at market rent or (3) provide 30 day notice and transition out. 

I really want my first purchase to be something smart and not pay full retail looking to subject 2 my first couple of poperties

I live in Milpitas so Milpitas Library would be my first choice.

Picking the right property, unpaid rent, evictions, rental unit damage, etc.But for me, my number 1(outside of property choice) was choosing and managing my property managers. 

I would like to do a live-in and flip but I am aware of my level of inexperience, I don't think it smart to act hastily.

My wife and I made the choice to start investing in real estate and this first duplex was a simple easy way to drop our living expenses to start saving for bigger better deals.

@Dawn BattsWelcome to BP...Someone smart enough to save up $500k to invest would not buy five $100k SFH's in cash. 

It's a multiple choice test.
