The question is really about how do you want to scale to me?

I'm currently working in the oil and gas industry on the manufacturing side of things and have been for 17 years.

The product was faulty (stated to be "manufacturing responsibility") in written report of certified flooring inspector.

These are new areas attracting mostly professional who are long term transient (military, government, high level manufacturing).

This includes roofing, siding, painting, carpentry, concrete, on-site appliance repair, heating and air conditioning, home inspections, tree service, plumbing, electrical, floor covering, manufactured dwelling installations, land development and most other construction and repair services.

If you want to scale up your business, you have to budget for these on an ongoing basis.

Hey Jon, when I wrote my 2nd book (1990s) I researched colors nationwide with several paint manufacturers and found that White and Yellow were THE most used.However when I selected the yellow for my own house, Sherwin and Depot (both with BIG discounts) could not match the Colonial Yellow I wanted.

Other areas that is pretty good would be Scottsdale, Tempe (near ASU), Chandler and Mesa (I heard that Apple will be opening a manufacturing plant there).

I was really into it when I first bought them and thought I would keep buying more, but now I lost the interest.I chose 4plexes because of volumes of scale (1 tenant turnover doesn't mean I am losing money that month), mortgage implications (easier to just get a personal mortgage, with 5unit and up you need commercial mortgage), and I thought it would be easier to manage.2 of the 4plexes are in Indiana and 1 is in Pennsylvania.

I have taken courses on buying apartments, but think I need to scale back and start looking at 2-4 units locally before I jump into something bigger.
