My understanding is that they break up (or drill?)

It may be a C-/D+ building but it’s treated me very well so far and I plan to continue acquiring more of them until I have enough equity to buy a large house here that I can break up into 3-4 rental units.

As far as DIY, painting will be tedious and time consuming, but if you break up the trim and the rolling between two people, it could take you a couple of days to paint a whole place, and it will save you a ton of money.

I use the white subway but accent it with the mosaics (cut into strips of 2 or 3 rows) to break up the white.

Hey BPIt seem like an eternity ago I did this for my first primary home.After a break up with the GF, the plans to buy multi family have come to a halt and I need to move out.I'm looking mostly at co-ops and condos that need 20% down.I'm going to borrow 50% from my 401k.

Lots of deals fall through, but I were working with a newbie and doing this constantly, where my client was obviously not sure what they want or how to get it, I'd probably break up with them fairly quickly. 

In the event that you and your girlfriend break up during residency or after it will be far more complicated to co-own it.Imo your best option is to rent as cheap an apartment as possible in residency and reevaluate your situation once you have an attending position.

If at a later time there is a breakup in the relationship, they will need to sort it out between themselves who stays and who goes.

Trish Geyer I haven’t been a landlord long but here are the downsides and upsides I’ve had so far: inherited couple tenants, break up, don’t pay rent, leave junk behind.

It's easier for us than being in the middle of the break up.
