I do it when driving a tow truck, so I get 2-6 hours of listening, and sometimes I will be listening to an audio book, (since English is not my 1st language it can take me 10* to 20* more times to read a book).I'm still a newbie bro investor and got a $65k condo at market price before I started learning about REI.

Technically, these have to be a gym or studio or something that's not officially occupied.

how long would it take for you to cover that reno cost.... is there a way to split the 3 br and make that a studio with a bath.. with a 3br unit the hold back is the limited bathroom but the entire building seems very low rent to me and makes me wonder where the profit is in it period..

On the other hand if its is a studio or 1 bed that you will be renting to a single person then I probably would not put one in unless the kitchen had an abundance of storage or was really high end. 

Then I found a mentor in the pages and audio books of Dave Ramsey and I stopped buying real estate and I started getting out of debt.  

Since a couple of days I've started reading some books and listening to audio and podcasts.

Account Closed check out Lucas Gray/Propel Studio in Portland.

Improvements will include interior/exterior painting, some minor plumbing, installing flooring, repairing wood stairs and deck, and possibly a wall removal to make into a studio.  

The articles mentions studios in several markets, the client base for studios in high tech markets has likely decreased alot due to all these factors. 

Experience is a teacher even if its your mentor's experience (through books/audio/seminars)I'm just like you (yet to do first deal).
