But try this: https://www.homewyse.com/services/cost_to_estimate_home_remo...Let me ask you this.....I was even considering offering a service to 'walk the property' via video conference and throw out some rough numbers....do you think that would help people?

It feels as if the shift to more of an apartment home is what helps with tenant retention.Having amenities on property, such as dog parks and fitness centers, help with retention, and being close to amenities also helps.I think the same can be said for most smaller multifamily, with having washer dryer hook ups, 2 to 3 beds, at east 1 1/2 baths, if you have some privacy for a yard would be a huge bonus.I really would stay away from pools for small multi families.

The last tenants at one of my SFH rentals were comfortable securing the property remotely based on the photos and video tour, signed the lease electronically, and sent all move in funds to me electronically before they moved to the area.

If I can ever help on the PM side let me know, but we also buy/own multifamily properties so happy to help on the ownership side too if possible. 

I hope that helps in your search to find the perfect househack. 

So that is a real world example of what can go wrong.Hope it helps!

But I’m curious whether it be now or during a vacancy if there’s an effective way to help soundproof a little better aside from the obvious open up all the drywall and insulate? 

I'm not sure if you heard the news but this kind of problem is exactly what we're trying to help with our upcoming launch of PassivePockets.

I am really interested in the potential that RE investment has to help provide an income for my family and help me slowly build a farming operation that is set up for long-term sustainability.I plan to use my RE license to raise capital and get access to potential rental properties.

Working with your estate planning attorney will help ensure the trust is set up correctly to maximize these benefits.
