Most of what's out there seems to focus on off-plan property investing and primarily SFR, studios, 1-3 bedroom units, etc. and doesn't offer the same advantages that leveraged rental property does, i think.

I'm living in Los Angeles, which is high cost, and looking to buy a small investment studio condo in Massachusetts where I'm from (120-140K). 

A private studio situation could rent closer to $1,800 or more depending on how big the place is.2.

I get my tenants an Amazon gift card.

Purchase price: $400,000 Cash invested: $10,000 REO owned property and took a while but eventually closed and converted into a house hack, added an ADU in the back (+$800/mo) and converted the garage into a studio (+$800/mo) and working on scaling this up for additional properties.

Currently the property is zoned as a duplex, with a 1BR 1BA unit on the first floor, 2BR 1 BA Unit on the second, and a finished attic "studio" apartment with a kitchenette and half bath. 

New window or replacement Too broad a question You can look up how much windows and recessed lights cost at Home Depot, Walmart, Amazon etcHome Depot and lowes for windowsWe pay $125 to have a 4’ x 5’ window installed

The area is highly desirable, schools are good, and it's in close proximity to the Amazon facility.We know it's a complete gut job.

You made the right choice moving here, there's so many catalysts for population and job growth (Intel, Honda, Amazon, Nationwide Hospital, etc). 

He converted the top apartments to four studios about 360sf each and said that an Airbnb management company furnished it and gave them long term guaranteed leases and that company will also take care of everything related to the units, cleanings, bookings etc.
