But the only sure thing is that we will continue to get older.This week brought fresh evidence for me, as if I didn't have enough already, that the main question you have to ask is not to decide to do this or not, but whether your spouse is fully on board for going ahead with real estate investing.

MY WHY: I grew very frustrated with not having enough time to do the things that are most important to me (mainly spending time with loved ones and tapping into my creative side).

Like Jay, I have invested a lot in 2018...mainly MHP, SS, and select MF. 

And what makes it difficult is it mainly the tenants or is there other aspects as well?

It is mainly carpet in decent condition, eventually I would want to change it all to hard floors.  

Check their website for current rebates, sometimes it can almost entirely offset the cost of running the line into the house, assuming the main is available on the street.I converted my primary residence this past winter and saved a good bit. 

The main difference between the homeowners policy (HO3) and dwelling policy (DP) is the occupancy.

On larger assets (80+ units), you'll be much less exposed to tenant risk and your main downside risk will be a decrease in rental revenue or vacancy (if you refuse to decrease rents).

No matter how much you try to improve the spaces, they're both just cramped and the only way to get around the main problem is ripping out walls and flooring and doing some rerouting of main DWW plumbing.

Investing while I do it.. the main focus for me has been transactional all these years..
