But if you decide that maybe it could work for you, then these four steps will be crucial in giving you the best foundation for success.Step 1: Know your reason for investing in apartmentsI didn’t invent this step, but I’ve been a long-time student of success and this is one of the keys: it’s to know your “why”.At one level, apartment investing is no different from any other worthy pursuit: there are going to be highs and lows.

These nuisances didn’t rise to the level of evicting the tenants, so basically I just had to suffer.

Level.

You have to remember that the uncertainty creates anxiety...which leads to possible irrational behavior...meaning tenants default to self-preservation and will do everything possible to resist change....not saying your tenants will do this, but keeping them informed will make everything run smooth.HERE is a doc we provide to all tenants of occupied units (specific to my state)

Wanting to connect with other agents/people that are exploring blockchain for Real Estate and companies that are focused in this area as I believe its the way forward on so many levels.

You can buy a green laser level for under $100.

There is at least a National level form that she should have filled out as far as the eviction for nonpayment protection goes- maybe she has done this already. https://www.cdc.gov/coronaviru...This is to say that tenants are supposed to make partial payments if possible (which you said she has), and that payments will be due when the moratorium ends in some States.

My high-level plan is to leverage all cashflow producing properties in my general area (NE US) using #1 the equity I currently have in my SFH ($100k-$150k) and #2 using the cash I've been saving/investing ($200k-$300k).  

My guests this weekend were not great either, but you win...However I may win on the stupidity level.

But you don't seem to know this, because it touches on the primary problem with this investment: you bought into an expensive, renovation-heavy project without knowing much about renovation, and cavalierly dismissing how difficult it to carry out and/or get others to carry out on-time, on-budget renovation at a level of building quality that doesn't decrease the value of an expensive old house.Best of luck to you and I sincerely hope you prove me wrong.
