I have always imagined getting to the point where I could hold/ run a small community of mountain cabin rentals or a guest house, something along those lines.Thanks,Chad  Yes I meant AirBnb and Mid-term rentals, rent by the room, glamping (although I probably wouldn't go that route), buying commercial RE and running a business (for me that would be a lot of work with a W2 job and buying property locally or leasing out a space is expensive here). 

I imagine the only way it would be possible is to do the bulk purchase in cash, sell off a couple and then put debt on them?

Imagine you put down 3% on a $400k property. $12k.

I'm imagining something more like add a wall, turn a bedroom into a kitchen-living on one side and a formal dining room into a bedroom on the other side, maybe add a half bath in each unit.

It’s easy to say “just screen better,” but I imagine truly tightening up criteria without killing occupancy can be an art.Since you’ve seen this play out firsthand, I’d love to hear more—what specific strategies have you used to filter out the bad tenants from the good ones?

Imagine building a 4,000-square-foot, three-story duplex with a 1,000-square-foot ADU.

I do recommend on higher end properties adding TV channels and Spectrum has a live TV stream app (no more boxes, I also imagine other cable providers so as well).

Also, if you're familiar with Chicago, it's your standard 6-unit building, so imagine the sidewalk surrounding it. 

I cant imagine where you'd find better than conventional unless you have a crazy friend with a lot of money.   

Being proactive ensures you’re always a step ahead, minimizing risks and keeping your business running smoothly.Example: Imagine you implement an outdated tenant screening policy that inadvertently violates a new anti-discrimination law.
