I've seen Zoning red tape those garage conversions if they weren't up to snuff, just something to look into. 

ALL are red flags.  

I love the red door!

Build that credit score back to 750 and save $20-30k in cash.Then you will be ready to rock and will have 10-15 properties within 10 years.

With a single phone call I was able to get my core four lined up (rock stars know rock stars) and start making offers. 

My conjecture is that the appraiser used the property that was not applicable in this deal so to raise the value and "not rock the boat" so to speak.

Coverage also depends on the quality of the paint-once I went over a bright red semi gloss with a lighter blue eggshell paint and for most areas, one coat was enough-which shocked me.

I’ve recently been taking this as an “excuse” to not proceed with real estate investing... like “the time will come” or something.But then today I checked their yelp and saw a 1-star and 1 review saying their lack of answering should have been a red flag before proceeding.Now I know it wasn’t the universe telling me to wait but really it was them...

Please explain in great details if you some of you have made that cross over, can it be done at any time or do you need the play the "rich dad poor dad" monopoly 4 green houses then trade up for the red hotel?

Well, my answer about the color would be "red" or "brown" or "yellow," because of the brick, you see...Vince, if you and other like you keep on ignoring the "real" in "real estate," and focus on financial metrics in the uninterrogated belief that House A is just as good an investment as House B as long as the numbers are roughly similar (and maybe the property inspector you hire doesn't loudly tell you not to buy it), you're going to bleed money in the long run.
