Bob B....She is and she certainly helped me out 10+ years ago when I bought the place.

I have seen some turned into jewelry stores, camera display store, restaurant speakeasy type thing, Fed Ex shipping type place, etc. 

I I bought an apartment last year that had smokers for 30 years straight and it still didn't look this bad.

- I'm listening to podcast 45 as I type this and just bought 4 hour work week to read.

I bought a property from an owner that didn't want to sell until 2018.

Sounds like you bought a nice property with good rents (long-term).  

Click the "Store" link at the top of the page and buy the BP books on "Finding and Funding Great Deals", Brandon's "Low and No Money Down" book, and the new "Raising Private Capital" book.

You bought at full value most likely.   

We kind of have some experience in this since we have bought and sold our past three homes.

I just bought my first duplex, I was advised by @JD Martin to have at least 10k in reserves.
