They used to offer 3 year subscriptions, but after intuit sold quicken, the new owner wanted to increase revenue and shortened the support periods between upgrades.

This was a question I asked when I my interest was peaked year ago.A great book I would reccomend, available on audible you can listen to...The Book on Investing in Real Estate with No (and low) Money Down.It will lay out many of the strategies that beginners and even successful investors utilize to invest in real estate.A popular strategy of many of investors involves investing with OPM (Other Peoples Money), myself included.

I want the concept plan to illustrate hypothetical lot layouts with different zoning regulations such as R20, R30, R40, PUD, or special use.

Also, free signs, leads, business card layouts, and website (currently beta).

The 1st floor condo is currently utilized as a commercial office space and the layout is set-up without a full bath, proper kitchen, etc, but just right for a smaller office.The other 2 units are regular condos for families.I'm trying to figure out what option I am better off with:Option 1: Leaving the first floor unit condo as a commercial space, renovating it and trying to find an office to occupy it.orOption 2: Invest in doing a full kitchen and a full bath to make it a proper Tenant rental.Option 1 seems like it will be more economical but there is a risk it will take longer to find an office to rent the space vs a tenant, and the loss I take on finding that commercial renter may offset what it would cost to re-do the whole unit by investing in a full bath, kitchen, etc.I'm also wondering whether I'm better off having all 3 units be tenant-rental condos if it makes it easier to sell down the road or should I just consider keeping 1st unit as a commercial space and take the chance?

Loan Info: Owner is carrying note for $285,000 and I'm putting 50K down. 15 year loan @ 4.35% -- W/Tax, ins, ect -- my payment is @ $2150/MO.The 2 BD/1BR's rent for $600 for upper and $500 for lower (although they are the exact same layouts).

., the taxpayer owned one parcel of land for 11 years and upon sale the court ruled it was inventory and would be subject to ordinary income taxes rather than cap gains.My point is, @Anna Watkins, that you need to speak with a savvy professional and lay out your facts/develop a defense plan before you redevelop.

Long story to lay out how we did it, and to encourage you. 

The inside layout was not friendly, both the 1st and 2nd floors needed a complete rehab, electric, plumbing, layout - EVERYTHING.  

This will become intuitive as you learn more.
