I'm the husband of the most beautiful woman in the world and the father of soon to be 3 awesome children.  

The answer could be Yes, Maybe, Sure....The real beauty of it really is though that you have options isn't it.At this point we are now looking to move away from residential and get into the holy grail of commercial real estate.

I have been in the beauty industry for 20 + years and it's time to join/start a second career in something that I can honestly say it's a second passion... if not my first passion

This morning, as I walked out of the door on the way to my 9-5, the feeling in my gut that I felt as I walked away from my adorable little girl and beautiful wife who are my world, not to mention our loyal and loving canine children, who were all looking at me with their sweet eyes as if to say, "Call in today, Dad, stay home with us", I was reminded why I am doing this whole real-estate investing thing.

Like you, we have some beautiful and very ornate buildings that have gone into disrepair.  

We do not get much cashflow ($400/mo before repairs, $200 after repairs in our model) but we do not have much money on and we have a beautiful asset.Duplex bought at 195k.

That's the beauty of investing in expensive and high growth markets like ours.

. $1000 for each new bedroom, and $3000 for installing carpet of the extremely beautiful Birdseye maple flooring.

I create beautiful move-in ready homes out of garbage, that's why.  

A good choice for a couch may be something stain resistant or with a washable slipcover. end tables, lamps, and accessories you can pick up easily at consignment shops.
