After five years of active duty I deiced a change of scenery was a good idea, which lead me to Cape Cod.My goals in real estate are buy and hold rental properties, mainly multifamily.

So if you're in effect redoing the entire kitchen, it may be worth your while especially if you factor in the long term appreciation to the property.

And Bedbug laws are a factor in their formula?

I am also not opposed to putting in some sweat equity into our flips, although I would not be happy doing this on a full time basis.I know that there is no “right” answer to my question as there are so many factors to take into consideration, but I’m going to ask it anyway.

I was mainly trying to say it wasn't a commercial loan.  

The main reasons to hold would be:1. 

I only moved a few cities over into a different house, wondering if it was an environmental factor that was causing my issue (for which I had been hospitalized before).

The main advantage purchasing an existing facility provides is some income while you are stabilizing the property; even if the owner only has 30% occupancy, that's better than starting from scratch with debt service payments.

I got my RE license for one main reason:  To avoid having to deal with agents as much. 

You’re probably factoring the general overall average and aren’t too far off.
