I told him what I wanted, and he completely drove my idea off the side of the road.

I like the idea of living off cashflow from free and clear properties or 120k/year with as few properties as possible.

Any perspectives or other ideas of how we could approach it would be greatly appreciated! 

The wall and the door are easy but any ideas on how to fix the floor would be greatly appreciated

Unless someone else comments with a better idea / option. 

Because this will be my first Multifamily as well as my first time being a landlord , I'm very much in love with the idea of very low CAP Ex Repairs needed in the first 5 years, the tenant quality applying to a new build unit in a new community, Just a much nicer and newer product for the money .

Thinking about that duplex in Missouri seems like a good idea, especially with someone already living there to help with the home payment while you work on your dream home.

(No idea how long that might be)I can get a contract on one unit but it would be contingent on being able to purchase both units since they share the exterior and both sides need a complete exterior overhaul.

If you still think it's a bad idea feel free to share a better way in this current market and I am all ears. 

The idea is to move away from licenses being issued at the discretion of the commissioner, to streamline the process and have any properties that complete the application and meet the criteria get a license.
