The hard part is realizing when its right to switch over.

Welcome to the party, Charese!

There would be costs associated with boarding up the initial entrance though, I just need to weigh if it is worth it to give the third floors tenants the benefit of their own entrance.

Not only can you have all the benefits previously mentioned but you can sell at a higher price than market when following a Lease Option with Owner Financing and you don't have to worry about third party approvals such an appraisal when selling with Owner Financing.What I've found in Texas, and don't know where to find in your state, is something that super charges my owner financed sales. 

If you want to foreclose on a tax certificate you have to pay off all other certificate holders.....and if the property has real value it will go 3rd party at the tax deed auction and you'll recover your costs. 

We should connect :) There's also a business development group that meets every third Thursday of the month.

The property manager said we only had space for two cars and she wouldn't allow us to have a third space paved. 

I had the inspection on the third day, found some things that need work.  

As I move into my second and third house, the SOW by itself will save massive amounts of time.

The hard part is finding buyers willing to participate in a 90 fishing expedition while the listing agent tries to figure out what the bank is going to take for the property.
