If we go down this path, what is the best way to structure the lease arrangement for the that half of the duplex?  

Don't get me wrong, the brick and mortar are great too (and it's because of that "improvement" to the land that you'll be receiving huge tax deductions each year), but while you're in the feasibility stage and before your earnest money goes hard, you need to verify the rent roll.The other books I didn't see listed that are on my list of having been worth reading more than once include: "Investing in Apartment Buildings" by Matthew Martinez, "How to Make Big Money in Small Apartments" by Lance Edwards and "How to Build Wealth" also by John Wilhoit, Jr.As much as I love reading, I can't say enough about how important it is to get out and see other people running their apartments.

I'm wanting to wait until I have around $50k-$100k built up before I start on my next stage of the investing career which is rehab and resell ( then eventually rentals).

Then why not make your team sit together and do a collective brainstorming to generate a wide array of ideas.It is a centre stage act that creative brainstorming should take place to solve a significant internal or external challenge.

To set the stage I have no college loans to pay off, I have no debt, and I currently live with my parents because our restaurant is right behind our house, so I have NO EXPENSES.

I'll be in DC whenever I'm not in Baltimore.I'm most interested in finding an investor-oriented RE agent who is free during the days to arrange showings in the area and field my novice questions.

Additionally, these exceptions may prove to be a defense for any claims of wrongful eviction under the statute.In the early stages of a foreclosure action, the lender generally learns of the existence of a tenant in possession.

And I am in the infancy stages as this was just presented a few day ago which is why I am reaching out for advise.

hey there, I'm also at the same stage of my REI Business and have been driving for dollars and collecting information on other local investors along the way.
