The purchase and sale of a business requires a lot more personal involvement than the purchase and sale of real property.  

Purchase price: $840,000 Cash invested: $75,000 Sale price: $1,200,000 Full renovation of all 4 units.

The reason is the rent-to-price ratio is good so you can cash flow, and most of the West side doesn’t have a Point of sale inspection which is really annoying.

Quote from @Christina Hall: Let me guess your solution is SEO 😆 I’ve spent 20 years in sales/marketing and I have to say it’s never a single strategy We are also buying up expensive keywords on google I hear this constantly when I try to help peopleI do ONE single strategy because that ONE strategy is the one that actually works.Will you do 15 different strategies just because there is some unspoken rule that says "Don't do just one strategy?". 

While I have a fantastic rate, the co-owner's giving me the option to refinance or he'll force a sale.

It’s crucial to conduct your own due diligence, especially when it comes to rent comparisons and property sale prices.

You could probably put in the lease that all items needing hanging must be done with the removable hook/tape type products. 3M has a bunch where you pull on the tape and it releases. 

Did the proceeds from the sale count as short term or long term capital gains?

I have not lived in the property two years and feel that any profit I may make on a sale would get chewed up by closing costs and capital gains. 

I completely agree with that and there is a way to phrase it when you are not trolling by saying, hey I own a CRM company and am honestly looking for feedback to make the product better (and then do not send DMs).
