I am not here to reinvent the wheel just use what works and grow my knowledge base.

But it's a big wheel with billions of cogs that live a life of glorified indentured servitude.

Because a 2-4 unit property will serve as a forcing function to drive a multifamily deal with "training wheels," so to speak, before moving into larger multifamily deals (where folks should ultimately aim to focus in their bigger strategy, in my opinion). 

I actually started telling people that when one tenants boyfriend during the lease signing was asking me to relocate shelving 2 inches higher and other such ridiculous requests.

This requires a bit more planning to make sure you never term out of your commercial mortgage during a period of time when values are not favorable for a refinance like at the bottom of a market cycle.So with sufficient foresight and use of the pro's while minimizing the con's I side with commercial financing from a RE investor perspective, but for the newer aspiring investors I will side with conventional since its financing with training wheels that favor the borrower.

Getting ready to sell a rental, and realized how much I forgot about doing a big painting job. 1/4 of the way through I broke down and shelled out for a 18-inch rollar and big painting tray.

I started in in 2-4 family back in 2007 before making the shift to self storage in 2011 and while I learned a good deal in the multi-family if I could do it all over again I would definitely skip that phase:)Just something to keep your wheels spinning. 

(quoted 15k, included in the 220k full estimate)-The 1/5 bath needs a shower, and because it's small, we need to move everything around, and also move shift the door a few inches.

When it's on wheels, it's regulated by the DMV, but when it's on a foundation, it's regulated by the city zoning laws, which often don't take kindly to the Tiny House.

That ought get her behind the wheel of the cub cadet !
