It does cash flow better then a SFH, you are correct.In my case:- it had to be re-zoned as MF with the city- an additional post office address had to setup (1A, 2B)- natural gas line was split and 2nd meter was added- 2nd electrical meter was added outside- 2nd electrical circuit breaker panel was added in the basement next to the other panel, and all the wiring for upstairs unit was moved into it- city does not allow for a split up of incoming water to add 2nd meter so both units have to share it.

What cities (or areas within the city) have you seen hit a nice sweet spot between cashflow and natural appreciation, and why do you think it's a good opportunity?

What's a light task for you that would be appreciated by your loyal tenant? 

It's nice just sitting back and collecting interest instead of running around meeting with sellers, contractors, title companies, etc.Yes i found this a very natural progression for many investors.. almost all start out with rentals.. and over the years they just burn out of them.. but want to stay in real estate understand real estate and then morph to the debt side instead of the equity side.. but believe me when a loan goes bad you do have your work cut out for you.. and you can for sure lose money.. 

As for the investment cycle term, thanks to their non value-add nature, you have to hold for the long term in order to recoup transactional costs and the slight decline in price once the 'new car smell' from the TK provider's renovation wears off.

Paperwork, legal matters, taxes, things of that nature.

I plan on doing small renovations like painting, new floors, and new light fixtures ect.

I had an iHome WiFi multi sensor to verify temps, noise and light in the house, but it recently stopped working on my network so I am on the hunt for a replacement.Those are the bare minimums in my opinion.

Basically if she didn’t leave they had been given the green light to arrest for trespassing.

Given the long term nature of our relationship with the owner, he was kind enough to allow us to view the listing before it went public and given we had already completed an enormous amount of research into the project we were able to offer full asking price.
