I have friends that own subway sandwhich shops they are doing very well its a job but they are building true wealth.I have another friend that has the number one take and bake pizza place in PDX they do very very good.. and talk about free time .. he is always inviting me to go fishing mid week.So I really depends on what you want to do.. but if its just buy a few rentals well that's very vanilla and should not be any big blow back from others.. now if you telling them you want to give up your income and jump into RE as a newbie then you should defiantly head the advice of others.. because this business in Certain markets is not realistic to go from nothing to self sustaining in any short amount of time unless your already starting with significant capital behind you.Now there are areas of the US were properties are so Cheap you can start with credit cards.. but those are very management intense situations and defiantly not for all

I'm guessing about 2k sq ft, and between the 1% rule of price and $1 sq ft, lets say $1750/year, so $145 month would be my lowest end without seeing the house.Would you be able to sustain this if you went into negative cash flow?

I am also very interested in networking with Developers of Tiny House, Green and Self Sustaining Communities.Please get in touch if you have any suggestions and I would love to help if you need anything in the Metro Atlanta Area or South Florida.

But, the quicker you figure out what area is of particular interest and focus on that, the greater the probability of long-term sustainable returns.I have the advantage of speaking with, looking at the balance sheets of and arranging financing everyday for many individuals who have been successful enough in real estate investing to move into buying larger commercial properties.

Would having a high number of 'showings' over a sustained period of time cause enough of a disturbance to the jerk tenants to cause them to look for housing elsewhere be 'illegal'? 

The roof and siding was also replaced due to the damaged sustained by Hurricane Florence.

Counter tops in the kitchen are typically laminate though we recently found a source for counter tops made of recycled glass and wood/paper which we are testing in a unit {with our student units we have begun incorporating more sustainable finish materials and have found it to be well received}.Finishes aside, all of our student properties come with complementary Internet (Fibre-Op) and non coin-op laundry.

My real passion is sustainability - everything from recycling/resource management to energy efficient building design to just getting out and being in the great outdoors! 

Greed is not a sustainable business model for me.
