If you want to invest in A/B markets, a common strategy I'm seeing for investors in highly populated metros is to find large lots with a single family home and add 1 or 2 ADUs onto them.

One of the most common questions that people ask me is how can they start investing in Real Estate with no money.

If you have anything registered to the address that may trigger an issue with the state or city. 

This is the “free answer” from Google, so it’s worth what you paid for it…https://www.justanswer.com/law/80qys-live-arkansas-neighbor-....Lawyer: LawEducatorUnder the common law of property you are entitled to trim branches from any trees that are overhanging on your property but must do so by exercising reasonable care not to damage or harm the tree.

The apartment would most likely be classified as a condominium in the US; individual owners and renters of single family homes/units in a multi-story, multi-unit building, with security, facilities, and common areas.To the point: My landlord has informed me he is raising the rent by 8.5% upon contract renewal in October, but read on.Dubai has government regulations concerning rental increases.

My HOA has said they're not responsible, but I have been told that the issue won't be solved unless all the units (less than 10 total), are sealed. 

From the looks of your investments, you have made bad choices or overestimated the metrics so the issue is on the buy side, not the rent or sell side.You are off to a good start in acquiring, but you haven't met your own expectations on either deal which either means you are trusting the wrong people or overestimating your abilities this early.

If you start thinking of the next before you perfect the last, you will leave properties incomplete and give yourself maintenance issues later.

Work travel is a common denominator with our guests.

Now a landlord (and architect), I wouldn't build out the space without the second stair since it really is a safety issue/liability (especially in case of a fire) if anything were to happen.Full excerpt of building code below:According to the Chicago building code on egress requirements, the third story above grade plane within a dwelling unit [which in this case is the duplex-up unit], all the following conditions must be met:1.) the building is equipped throughout with an automatic sprinkler system2.) the floor area of the story does not exceed 1600 sq ft3.) the dwelling unit has an exit that discharges directly to the exterior at the level of exit discharge.Your third story attic space is unlikely to exceed 1600 sq ft, but you'll probably find the sprinkler system to be cost-prohibitive.
