My dad converted it to a workshop for his craft. 2.I’m expecting some money to come in from my worker’s compensation case so I’m not totally against a mortgage.

There are some great and not-so-great agents in both large and small agencies.I’d look for someone that is full time so they can master their craft and give you all the time you need.

(The irate tenant does woodworking/crafting and uses strong chemicals daily).My office manager felt unsafe and suspected that the tenant was under the influence of drugs, so she called the police, closed the office for 1 hour, issued a lease violation, and immediately walked the other unit where the tub was being resurfaced.

Then, craft your strategy to take advantage of which benefits work for you, then go for it.Hope this helps.

I began out of state investing in Rochester NY in 2004 and soon discovered that even carefully crafted cash flow projections seldom capture the full impact of the repairs/maintenance you will incur, especially in the upper Midwest (Toledo, Cleveland, Buffalo, Rochester, Erie) where the winters can be absolutely brutal. 

All these features are time consuming and have they really perfected their craft?

Instead enlist (the Best and the Brightest--you can find that will work with you) to handle the details, while you oversee the big picture.For instance, lets say you wanted to have an annual harvest day parade through the down town with licenced (paid to the city) vendor booths for food and crafts and etc...That's a lot of loose ends that need to be tied up and overseen, year after year.Instead of doing that yourself, you work at finding enough volunteers where you can pick the best and the brightest to set it up and oversee it--a committee of volunteers.

real estate coops properly crafted (as long as they are used for investment) can be used in a 1031 exchange for the purchase of any other type of investment real estate.

I spend every day learning new things about real estate and working on different aspects of my craft - AND I LOVE IT!!

I invested a good chunk of time in crafting a polite, "no," response.
