Ultimately we went the occupancy change route to create a boutique "hotel".

I'd like to be able to do a "value add" of having a Welcome Basket to greet my guests, but I'm trying to figure out how to make sure it will go smoothly as I can't be there to create it each time.

I can create a much greater ROI if I PROPERLY invest in real estate. 3.)

You've come to the right place and search for meetups to see if you can find one or create one yourself.

There are a ton of reason why a person may be "off the grid" so to speak, But if they're a good tenant otherwise I'd do my best to create a "work-around" 

I would tell them to create a replacement budget and timeline of anticipated replacements.

So maybe adding a ramp access outside is readily achievable so you'd want to do that, but completely tearing apart an existing bathroom to create the necessary space is not readily achievable; 2) is the property in a historic district?

What I wrote above does not create an attorney/client relationship between us.

yea we have alot of money in low cost index funds as of now. they work great in between saving for a property with cash.I've though about leverage but between the p and I cap ex maitnance vacancy and all the other stuff it is cheaper to buy the condo with cash then up and sell it when I can buy the duplex. taxes are high here for homes on there own lot the condo is closer to 1 percent property taxes were as single family homes and duplexes and such are closer to 2 percent to 2.2 percent so that is a big reason why it makes more sense as of now.yea just this first duplex I want to pay cash for. after that I have no problem with leverage. but if we live in it it's gotta be paid for it creates a very stable rock so if the wind blows hard I am protected and have no worrysit really helps ease my anxiaty disorder and will prevent a stroke at a early age. a large reason as well is we cant qualify for a morgage that large.
