The zoning maps may show that you can build but the geology would make it to expensive for someone to actually build with out losing money. 

Actually furnished would be best as my current furniture is in great shape and is not likely to go well in my new house. 

I mean, if you’re like me and don't like to drink, drive, fly, eggs, enjoy reading by flickering candlelight, and prefer living in a tent in your buddy’s backyard (I actually did this in college) then you are good to go.

@Andrew Lax, A consolidation 1031 exchange from 15 SF to a larger commercial is actually very doable. 

Can’t wait to actually learn how to invest correctly in real estate properties!

Something like: when the foundation is finished, the framing, electric and plumbing are in, roofing and siding, etc   They will usually hold back 20% or so until the house actually has cleared all permits including the final permit of occupancy.  

Put a few paintings or fine art photographs on the wall with QR codes for purchase and they will serve as constant reminders to your guests and conversation pieces in their homes. 

For example, on top of down payment & credit score, you also need to factor in the actual DSCR percentage and if there is a prepayment penalty or not.

If you're not going to actually use your license to become a real estate professional, I think there's little value.

Has the Amazon distribution center actually made it more appealing since it was added?
