@Sonal Chopra what a great question, thank you for asking this to this community.Long-term goal would be the same goal my wife and I have today; Build, passive on going revenue streams that exceed our current and future expenses with the ultimate goal of giving away 80% of what we make to charities and causes we want to support.

I may have stumbled upon a great deal but as I am not a professional or seasoned expert like most of you, I thought I would drop the numbers and plans here and see if I’m outside of my depth hereNear Clanton, Alabama...

If more retailers vacate their space than those properties are at risk of losing tremendous value as it will be difficult to re-lease to a tenant that is not impacted by California's high costs to do business. 

This could also be called an 'equity play' where you are just buying the property to get into the real estate game and build equity, as it isn't cash flowing in its current situation (be it because of high interest rate, high RE prices, or whatever).  

I'd did the 30 day free trial and really like it,haven't sign up yet because i'm still exploring other systems that can built my business but I think i'll sign up for REIPRO in the near future.

I bought for the future.

Then there is an entrance from the back that leads you into the kitchen, plus you can enter from the main entrance in the front that has stairs that lead you to the other end of the apartment.Yes, you make valid points; it might never happen but you never know what could happen in the future, so it's something I also need to think about.My previous tenant that was living there, was there for 20+ years and never had a complaint about the heating/cooling with her; so hopefully this continues with the next tenant. 

Is it worth investing $15000 to start with partner-driven as they will still take 50% of the profit in the future?

There are over 20+ active CPAs here in Biggerpockets assisting RE investors with their tax planning.

Fees should be clearly stated in writing, easy to understand, and justifiable.
