I work with several Portuguese residents and I knew a couple were also landlords so I asked them about this post.

@Abad Marroquin Interest rates have ticked up a bit in the last couple months.

I think the rental would be a great deal so I want to exhaust a couple different avenues.

.- Properties are a couple blocks away from our house.  

It's originally a 3 bed 1.5 bath 1 kitchen 1 car garage but the previous owner put a fourth room in the basement also finished the basement along with another kitchen down there so 2 kitchens, plus new roof, windows and cement within the last 2 years. i know this because i knew the guy personally.

BUT it does have a large attic (1800 sq ft) above the property that was an old dance hall in the early 1900's, unfortunately the township won't allow it to be turned into a fourth unit, according to the sellers.So I'm reaching out to BP to see if any one has any ideas to help increase the NOI.I've thought about turning it into laundry but 2/3 units already have laundry, another idea is for storage but there is already a large garage on property that some of the tenants use.Anyway thanks for any input in advance!

I got a property through Morris Invest a couple years back.

They were an older couple moving into their kid's house and the kids were finishing up an addition for them to live in.What I learned was that each lead is different, you have to be solving a problem for them to want to sell you their house.

I started investing couple of years ago and have mostly invested OOS.

You may find many property management companies are found as arms of real estate brokerages.I did my own management for a while early on when I had only a couple of places and it was nice to learn what the day to day challenges were.
