To be successful in real estate, you have to have:PersistenceHustlePersistencePassion for REIand PersistenceTo find the definition of persistence, watch the movie "The Founder". 

The difference is that you will be giving that decision making right away, unless you do a 51%-49% split, but good luck explaining that one - just like the prenup discussion.I went through a similar situation with an ex (no marriage) of my own, we had been together for over 5 years, living together for 4 1/2 of those years, had everyone telling us that we should get married and all that mess, and thank God I did NOT listen to them and did NOT have her name on any of the documents or bills associated with the house...that conversation went over like a big, wet fart (Step Brothers (2/8) Movie Clip - Job Interview (2008) HD - YouTube) in church, but we still made it another 4 years. 

My plan was to house hack the duplex, pull equity, rinse repeat...Enter FIGHT CLUBThe first week I moved in the power got **** off from failure to pay (last tenant) no power added with the no water (I shut it off as the bathroom had been leaking for who knows how long 🤷🏻‍♂️) Just like the movie 🎥 no power hell, I think they even had water in the film.

It is always a gamble when spending money.but like the movie Field of Dreams said over and overIf you build it they will come.I believe that there are people who although don't make muchand cannot afford the extras would love to have the extras and take care of the privilege.What I have found is that if you price too low you get people who are too slick for their own good.It is my model to offer the upgrades for the same price as my competition.not lower but the same.So the value is built in upon lease signing.

If your tenants stream pirated movies, post illegal content or engage in illicit online business, you will be the first point of contact from the cable company or authorities. 

Or some other movie..?

Watching the couples and families in food court, movie theaters, and stores seemed no different than here.

heck, she'd be in line to get movie tickets and ask.

its kind of hilarious, but kind of sad at the same time... who would do that to their tenants.... it reminds of the movie Duplex with Ben Stiller and Drew Barrymore :P

So you were inspired by that movie?
