Personally, I think curb appeal is low on the list for MTR success.

@Ashley DennisI think people should consider owning real estate personally (tax benefits) and inside of their retirement account. 

Personally, I rent out properties that I personally would live in- and I carefully screen my tenants.

I guess how you handle the person by building a relationship is key here.

What they said^^^^No obtaining a permit for a structure that will be a habitable dwelling is just plain stupid... sorry - nothing personal.

I use it for my personal portfolio as well.

Assume the property is well located with average appreciation ...Selling some properties of mine and just curious what the average investor buyer is thinking ...Thanks guys I wouldn't personally recommend deliberately buying a property you believe will be negative cash flow.

I do want to separate my business and home expenses, but even if I had a business CC, I'd still have to pay it off with my personal money because its going to be awhile before I'm making income.

I wouldn't be selling in this market personally, so if you don't sell the SFR and you really want to do this, a DSCR cash out refinance on the triplex, or a hard money 2nd is your only option to get the liquidity needed to make this move.

we just bought an underpriced piece of land that was unentitled and had high upside in Franklinton in Columbus Ohio. a non profit owned a plot 4x the size an Called us only after our project was announced and asked If we'd buy their site. we gave them 4 different ways they could work with us and their realtor wasn't experienced enough and neither was their director of finance. the bought it to put a food pantry and couldn't because they can't develop. it's a mistake on their part to purchase land like this. their funds should have been used for other reasons.
