What you might consider failure I see as just a stepping stone to get where I'm wanting to go. 

I’d get new cabinets, tops, and appliances.At my store, I would figure maybe $2,000-5,000 for new cabinets depending on what you do, $1,500-3,000 for stone tops, and $2,000 for a stainless appliance package.

@Marty Boardman and @David Gudmundsen have been some local BP mentors to me and I really appreciate the conversations and time spent sharing with me their knowledge and experience.I’m grateful to some great friends that I have made through BiggerPockets such as @JT Olmstead and @Stone Jin and the fun conversations we have.I really ought to thank @Alexander Felice, not because we often agree on things, but because the concepts he shared on his podcast of including the rehab credit into the closing costs has made me a ton of money.

This is not set in stone.

Rolling Stone did a fascinating article on it last year; the title sums up the situation there -- Apocalypse, New Jersey: A Dispatch From America's Most Desperate TownI am all for investing in and revitalizing our cities, but there's a point where there is nothing an individual like Stephen can do but cut and run.

@Stone Jin The one I think I talked to you about before, I couldn't get it done.

Property management is a tough job and most good people use it as a stepping stone.

@Stone Jin That would be ideal but I don't have the capital to buy a cheap duplex AND put a down payment on a home.

Not to mention you're within stone's throw from 2 skytrain stations, a new line being built, a new LRT being built, and one of Canada's top universities.

@Stone Jin I'm very interested in purchasing MF units in the Toledo market.
