It may cost a few bucks, but you won't be burning bridges.

Have I been burned? 

If your 4-plex were to burn down and zoning would only allow you to replace it with a single home, that could be problematic; ie what would the insurance company pay to rebuild? 

A tenant could also burn your property down or a host of other issues.

About 15 years ago, I talked to them about plans that may affect a burned out triplex on Oakwood my partner and I were trying to buy.

It feels like I'm stuck in some sort of limbo between "I want to make a lot of money" and "I really want to help a lot of people.On one hand, there sits a burning desire to help people, which has been a part of my personality for a long time.On the other hand squats a selfish guilt in wanting to make a large amount of money.

If you're like us, where you have a burning desire to pursue this journey,but still need a push, then let's take this leap of faith together.We can share our passion and experiences together.  

@Sunny Burns, thanks for your input. 

My wife and I feel electric is more dangerous because the surface could be hot long after you turn it off and you are more likely to burn food because you cannot control the temperature as well.We see valid points on both sides of the argument so would like to know what you all have in your rentals and for what reasons?

Should we wait until the market crashes and recorrects to start so we dont get burned ?
