Thank you all very much!

Chris, you’re on the right track asking about permit timelines..

Maybe it should have been that way all along. 

It's adjustable based on size, erring on the side of generosity.

However the older generation that lived through the 80s really like that arcade cabinet and they are the ones paying for the trip. 😉  also, a lot of the 3/4 size Arcade1 games have multiple games loaded on them.Yea so I have a variety.  

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies who spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.

@Scott Trench you and I don't always 100% agree on everything, but I think you nailed this one. 

What is the kind of timeline you are looking for also?

Here’s some context: Property 1: >$100k in EquityValue: $325kDebt: $220k @ 2.88% (30-year fixed)Property 2: >$70k in EquityValue: $325kDebt: $252k @ 3.38% (30-year fixed)Extra considerations: - I have $15-20k liquid to use for any of these deals- My current job is relatively stable, but not high-payin- Current properties in TX, living in NY, looking to invest in Mid-West (crazy, I know)- No other debt obligations besides the two mortgagesUltimate goal/timeline: Though a bit ambitious, I’d love to build up the portfolio to 10-20 units in the next two yearsI understand that any/all replies aren't financial advice; all ideas welcome for information purposes. 

Not all bad as some would make it sound but it a'int all good either.
