@Jonathan Mills For countertops, I would personally go with granite.

I also recommend to talk to the contractor in person because there's for us it's a gut feeling if we feel we can trust someGood luck.

Personally my realtor is always on the lookout for great deals for me.

So what I'm saying is just loading up your Gatling gun with money and spraying it at the problem may have little effect if the committee is hard-nosed to you personally, alcohol establishments, or just everything in general.

Take advantage of it and have your maintenance person or property manager go and check things out at your property. 

House hacking will also give you some personal "property management" experience.

I’m not really a “people person.”A PM can definitely pay for themselves just in higher rents, late fees, collection of damages beyond security deposits, and reduced vacancy.

Have you seen it in person?

Are you going to go with residential, personal lending, or commercial?

Every single seller we've bought from has some type of mom and pop characteristics.From personal experience, I can tell you that masterminds are fantastic for networking.
