If you or anyone else has personal experience with quantifiable evidence of successfully owning a small or medium size business on an absentee/passive basis I would be interested in learning about it.  

Personally, I would create a routine around the test taking experience.

Who can share their experience with Travel Nurses to house hack? 

Hi Navid-To start, I am sorry to hear about your father's dementia.It is fortunate that you were able to sell his business and he invested in 6 investment properties in California 10-15 years ago and he and your mother are living on the cash flow from those.You now are thinking about expanding your father's investment real estate portfolio because California is so expensive to live for them but don't have the same experience and confidence being new to investing.This is an honorable goal and you are right to be cautious and thoughtful.You asked about whether you should cash out refinance each house or borrow against all houses to get downpayment for new properties.

Ask how many units they manage and how much experience they have.

Any experiences, the good, the bad, and the ugly would be appreciated.

Not really a need for the middle man dealer.And there's another trend, customers are really not into the whole haggling experience.

In my experience, good design is good business; building something with character stands out to potential tenants (increased rent) and helps lower vacancy rates.

I have experience flipping houses, and working with investors on residential and commercial projects.
