Hey Lisa- investing out of state can be a bit tricky but it's feasible if you do your research.

What is the most feasible and cost effective way to add a rooftop deck on a property that currently has a pitched roof?

The thing is, to be able to get to the point in my life where I can feasibly do that, I have to make money.

If you're just getting started this could be fine, but a lot of seasoned investors get real good at writing off income which makes a cash out refi the only feasible option. 

Things like this are rarely feasible, grandfathering is the only real answer with current regulations and laws.

Without drastically changing your lifestyle, it really isn't feasible to start a real estate investing business without having steady W2 income.

One of my medium-term goals is to be a Tony Robbins Platinum Partner and I think GB or M1 might be an excellent springboard to making that economically feasible. 

The FB groups have fewer restrictions on self-promotion there, so you will get a bunch of replies, and then you can start contacting the lenders directly to see about the feasibility for your particular project.Account Closed has a good FB group called Maryland Investors Network.

It's just not feasible; let alone logical for anyone to risk.  

When I realized the size of the apartments though, IMHO this would only be feasible in select situations where people would be willing to live in much tighter quarters.
