Long term, I'd like to move into more of a commercial portfolio-- storage units, large multi-families and Triple-net leased strip malls and/or manufacturing buildings in the Twin Cities.I'd like to weave this guy into my business from a right-hand-man ESOP (employe-owned) standpoint.

If I am a salaried employee, then the LLC pays 7.5% employment tax, and I pay another 7.5%.

Good employment and strong economics it looks like.It's an older building on a master meter.

I am the researcher/analyzer/number cruncher/laborer.My fiancée, Tim, although not an actual GC, will play that role as he has been in the building trade (residential and commercial) for almost 30 years.Bryan, our realtor, who’s a very successful realtor in the Middle Tennessee area for going on 9 years, who, himself, has successfully flipped two residential properties on his own.This is our journey thus far:We (Tim and I) relocated to the Nashville area in 2012 for employment reasons.

The report will tell you the city's income growth, population growth, changes in unemployment, who the biggest employers are, growth plans for the city (i.e. how they will use taxpayer money), risks the city faces, crime rates, and I could go on and on.

Generally 2 beds are more in demand so the mix appears to look good.Make sure you are local as 23 units does not have enough scale to employ a full time repair person. 

Our housing is paid for by our current employer, so we are considering it as an option next year.

It depends a lot in the area, but I will say the most important ones should be crime, school district, nearby employment and competition with other rentals.

I don't know of any cases personally, but that's the reason I've heard as to why some landlords don't divulge any info about current/former tenants - they don't want to get sued.I've heard of similar situations about employers not saying anything regarding current/former employees.

I am self employed which earns enough to pay the bills and gives me a lot of flexibility with my time.
