We have a renter who is interested in grabbing the space for car restoration.I was told I need liability if they are doing restoration of any kind.

If you are ever in the LA/OC area, or I am back out in the Midwest, I would love to take you out to grab a bite or a drink and dig deeper on your story/ analyze a few deals together. 

I want to grab it as an investment prop.

@Matthew R Crawford So this post grabbed my attention as i'm a beginner in the real estate game myself.

Grab yourself a pro membership, fill out your profile & get a picture up.

Come grab some dinner, drinks, and talk real estate.

If you’re takin pets, add a pet fee, put “PET FRIENDLY” as your first headline words, inspect monthly for the first 4 months, expect a surprising number of “im a dog trainer so my animal is exceptional” responses since calling yourself a dog trainer is as easy as grabbing a saw and calling yourself a carpenter, and ALWAYS meet the animal - preferably at the showing so you see how it reacts in a higher stress situation of new people and new noises etc.

I have a feeling the bank will not be open to you borrowing as much money when you don't have an income.Personally I would just go for multi-family now and start to grab as many of those as you can.

Why not ask for last month's bill to do your analysis and then make sure you grab the last 12 months during due diligence?

You will learn so much and when the right deal comes along you will be able to grab it.Feel free to message me anytime.
