At that time in the US, it was, "Easy Ways to Lose Weight."

We thought about doing that in one of our units, but the weight is an issue too. 

@Mason Myers, I can't ballpark a cost since my bookkeeping firm doesn't provide tax services but if you plan to grow your REI activities I recommend making a relationship with an REI-savvy tax professional now as you're just starting so they can follow your journey from the get-go.That's what I did as an REI when I was first starting out and it paid off as I continued acquiring properties and needed tax guidance along the way.Once you have more REI activity, a great REI-savvy tax strategist as well as a tax filer will be worth their weight in gold.If you want to chat in more detail about all of this send me a DM. 

The same way I can tell you how to lose weight, but it doesn't mean that in 6 months you'll be 20 pounds lighter.

Multifamilies / commercial have higher interest rates so one can't compare it to your buddy's screaming hot deal for his home.You could pay points to lessen the interest (1 point = 1% of the loan), but the break even I was hearing for my situation was a 5 - 7 year time horizon. 

This has to be weighted against the loss of capitol gains tax and the depreciation issue. 

It was always early morning runs, eat, study, go to physical therapy, go to class, eat, go to practice, hit the weight room, go back to physical therapy, shower, eat, study sleep, repeat.

A good attorney can be worth their weight in gold.... but hey, that is easy for me to say because I am one!

I move foreward in logical bites that fit my framework of balance.In that way I lessen my stress, and also lead a comfortable life.Just my 2 cents.

If you are talking about sounds of people walking in second floor unit, that will be much more challenging, since wood has a natural bounce to it, and that would start to become a structural issue, as well as sound deadening.I was more referring to lessening the sounds of people walking upstairs.
