Off Cape, if you're rehabbing a home that's likely to attract a family with school-age kids (3-5 beds, 1.5 baths or more), you should aim to have the sale closed by September 1. 

I'm replacing the aging boiler and hot water heater systems in a MA multi-family rental property in the next few months, going through the MassSave discount program.

My long term dream plan is to start with multi-family rental properties, as that grows I would like to help cut costs by maybe starting my own property management company, also do syndicated deals, set up a real estate brokerage, really just in general ways that I can keep expanding is I grow into multiple areas and different businesses the real estate has to offer. 

First off, congrats on getting this going at a younger age....starting earlier pays dividends! 

Your age is a huge benefit.

This property caught my eye for several reasonsmostly because I drive by it frequentlyit offers a commercial space, apartments, and mobile home lotsit's close to my other investments and where I liveI feel like this is an area ready to grow (it's the non-interstate link from big town to small town)it's not so expensive I can't find a way to do the dealI've been investigating mobile home investing lately, and this is one way to learn thatI don't have a physical office space for my business, and this would lend credibility to my business (and allow me to have high-speed internet, which I can't get currently)I can use an apartment and rent my SFR for morethe mixed use feels like diversificationI wouldn't be surprised to see an investor try to buy this and several other spaces up for a large developmentI see potential in possibly converting the mobiles to tiny houses and increase rents accordinglyI'm not in love with the deal, but a couple of those reasons would sway me to consider a less-than-great deal, for non-financial reasons.The numbers really look not very good, and it looks like a bad deal as it sits, considering I'm adding 1000 in rent increase and no rehab in this scenario. 

Luckily I have seen upfront and close the different ways to fall on your face in this business at an early age—- wholesaling being one of the TOP 3 ways imo.

Leighann Davis Like others have noted, it is about growing your business.

A relationship with a CPA should last many years, and they should have the capacity to advise you as you grow your business. 

I know DFW area is a huge hotspot for RE and I would love to learn and grow and find other investors who are also striving for financial freedom like us!
