By building a shower and a kitchenette you can turn the garage into an apartment.

This is where you can go down the rabbit hole of where to find these deals…different philosophies and what is even realistic ect…this is super market specific and a whole conversation of itself….however still very possible as this is how I started out.

I'm not that professional but I think a whole house filter would filter particulates like dirt but not chlorine. for chlorine you might need a reverse osmosis system for a specific drinking water tap to eliminate the taste as it's not practical or efficient to put an RO on the whole house supply. if skin issues from bathing are a problem you might need a softener. sometimes when kids have eczema doctors actually prescribe "bleach baths" where a small amount of chlorine bleach is added to the bath water. also many of the water treatment systems can be rented so maybe just rent it while they are there. regardless, proceed with data. water test, pediatrician diagnosis (if it's legal to ask for, no clue), and a system that is right for the application. sounds like the tenant is willing to help out which is awesome.

GeorgeFishersCarmelVacavilleQuincyConroeChicoSan MateoLynnAlbanyHesperiaNew BedfordDavenportDaly CityHi Michael, I personally love Columbus Ohio and as someone who works with a lot of out of state investors - there's so many catalysts for why you should invest here.

Plus it’s fun racking up profitable properties and helping people in the process.Yes, it takes some training, which has a cost and a little bit of time to learn, but it’s a life changer.

I have heard of some investors not even waiting the 5 years on a commercial mortgage to refinance and as soon as they are able, they immediately do a refi. 

Florida in general has a higher appreciation rate than many other states and a great net migration along with the other things you mentioned.

If your credit is 680 or better, no lates on your credit report, and a clean b.g. and I can get a new investor started all day long given it is the right project.The right beginner project is one where the purchase price is less than 100k, total project cost less than 200k and loan amount around 120k - 150k.
