I am an artisan pizza maker.

Buy a $10 coffee maker at Walmart and make your own coffee.it is extremely important to live below your means.While I would say this as "spend less than you make" this is the absolute key practice to accumulate any wealth. 

The renter recently moved out and as it is not a good money maker, we are going to sell it while the market is still higher in our area.The renter didn't exactly trash the house, but her dog(s) did.

The first building will be 100 maker studios/start up spaces.

Apple, Google, Xerox, Fuji film, and Meta are all coming into the area. 5k people a month move to the area which has created a housing shortage, rent spikes, major appreciation (not just due to inflation) and you can still find single family homes for sale on the MLS in good condition for ~250k+ Tenant-landlord laws are landlord-friendly and taxes are low.

Sometimes when looking at a property it might not feel like a money maker to you but it might work better for someone else to take on.

I don’t say I’m the owner because when the tenants know you are the decision maker.

Most of the those people are in short supply, electricians, plumbers, etc can make really good money if they're hard working.  

as a deal maker, I believe both parties should pay their own closing costs.
