Not adding any additional living space, just dividing the two units, putting a kitchen in one of them, and probably not having to add a bathroom to either unit.  

I don't think we will ever have enough "doors" to replace an income in this time frame, but we would like to get to 5 doors in the next 5 years which we would sell in 10-15 years to help supplement our retirement income.  

Current plan is to rip out the carpet, it's trashed, and replace with LVP (one of the four colors, not sure which is best to choose... see attached image), replace the laminate counter with granite.

I borrow dollars from the bank and immediately sell those dollars to owners of commercial income property that I want to own.And then I buy those dollars back over time using the cash our tenants pay us in exchange for using our space.I'm currently shorting $10M and I can't lose regardless of who wins on 11/5By the way, the dollar will always decline in value so this thesis is applicable in any election or economic cycle.Go vote for whoever you feel strongest about, but remember you have infinite more power and that which is within your direct control.

We’d love to hear your thoughts!!

Great Post-  I appreciate you saying what a lot of the Gurus fail to explain: that this is a long term process and in a lot of cases we don't see the benefits for years to come. 

Hi, good afternoon my name is Cesar i’m new to the biggerpocket forums, I’ve been reading the book rental property investing by Brandon Turner that’s how I found out about the forum.

I just sent you a connection request to see if I can't be a good resource for you here in San Antonio. 

Since real estate is one of the most popular investment vehicles, it's understandable why so many people want to know if it's a good time to buy.
