One of the risks here is that you can potentially have a nosey/disgruntled neighbor who would go as far as to file a complaint with the local building department.

He’s probably going to end up going to a trade school, get a real estate license, work with a local contractor to become a building contractor.What are your thoughts about buying a property early in your life?

I have the keys and have begun moving items into the unit, but am not yet occupying it.The landlord has now informed me that he would like to agree to some sort of buyout of the lease because he is having problems with the local municipality for fire and sprinkler approvals.

Hoping things change🤞🏼I am involved in the community here and know first-hand the money and resources being thrown at minority-owned businesses from large local corporations as well as local community foundations. 

I love the idea of campgrounds or a tiny home village, but they'll require some capital to develop into it. are you attending any local investor meet-ups?

By way of example, the local code may require max distance from common stairs or building exits and something as simple as that can really interfere with the layouts you are contemplating in your head. 

You might look at hiring a designer that is local to help out.

I recommend networking with other MTR operators at your local REI meetup for market-specific feedback. 

Xero is definitely cheaper but the bank connections are limited so if you use a local bank it might not work.

People are always searching local.
