Sean:If you are renting rooms, then it's functioning as a rooming house and you have to deal with the "roommate drama" over use of common areas.

Perhaps we can combine and do something in the Rich Weese scale?

Combining your skills and Bigger Pockets you should be successful. 

BP has functions for both of those, you should be able to pickup some solid information and contacts while sticking with the website.I would also recommend trying to find some local events or wholesalers to pick their brains, there is no substitute for direct experience.

No on-site office, nearly autonomous functionality.

Commercial is valued as a function of cashflow and the appreciation is a function of how low CAP rates can go and what investors deem acceptable[ 3% Cap Rate vs 9% is going to change valuation].

I have a handyman who does counter tops, floors, toilets, and myriad other jobs, and a semi-retired painter and his housecleaner wife are a great combination I call on when a unit goes empty, and can do drywall and counter top work too.

There is a white rectangle in the upper right portion of this screen that is a search function. 

The previous owner painted all of the tile floors black and the kitchen had a non function layout.  

so just after about a week after purchasing #13 (Click Here), we closed on #14. this one was a little different.it's a house in great shape, all brick, 2 bath, huge basement and huge garage, but in an area with houses that are mostly vinyl with crawl spaces. we might have trouble getting people past the few streets that lead up to the house. but once they are there, it will be a great showing.the house was listed for around 100k a few months ago. then they reduced it a few times and finally it came down to 80. i made an offer with my agent (something i try not to do normally) at 70k, no inspection, closing in 45 days. she thought i was crazy and would never get it for 70k. they accepted, but the problem was that this house would have never gotten approved for financing since it needed shower work, terrible deck, caving in porch, and lower bath is missing most of the drywall.so, i could have either paid someone 2k to do it half a$$ and hope to get it financed, or get it with all cash. but i didn't have 70k cash.told the agent to go back to them and see how much they would reduce it if i paid cash for it. they said they will give it to me for 68k. so, i pulled the max loan out of my 401K, which is 50k, had 20k and combined it to get this house for 68k.the interest on the 401k loan is 3.25%, payable to ME for 5 yrs. so, they will be taking $904 out of my paycheck every 2 weeks.this house has around 8k-10 worth of work.
