As a Principal Broker (The head cheese) and as an investor, I will only ever have a lender prep a pre-approval letter for my current asking price.

The home is a 1 bedroom cottage.

Let me toss out another cheese head welcome to Bigger Pockets from northeast Wisconsin.Good Luck on your investments.

Here's the deal:  I could use any advice out there before I put money up to order the appraisal in a couple days.7 detached cottages on 2 lots.  

In the meantime I'm close to getting an accepted offer on a B&H property with a 4/1.5 house and 2/1 cottage on the lot.

Am looking to build a cottage home and need some plans drawn up and stamped to get permits.

I'm interested in investing in small multifamily properties and vacation rentals, focusing on the west side of the Hudson River with a particular interest in multifamily properties in Kingston and cabins/cottages in the Catskills. 

We live in Modesto, California.We own a few rental properties in our hometown: Two single-family homes and a "mother-in-law" cottage that we list on Air BnB and is pretty much rented out continuously by traveling nurses.

Two standard rental homes, plus a small cottage that we rent out on a short-term basis to traveling nurses via AirBnB. 

An friend told me in the 1990s he bought in Palo Alto a small cottage for $95,000 on a 9500 sf lot.
