Thanks for reading this and I look forward to future conversations.Cheers!

Especially if your my age or a bit older and grew up on hearing the word “groovy” uttered over and over by Marsha or Greg referring to their new pair bell bottom pants on an episode of the Brady Bunch back in the day.

A lack of future planning is the source of that problem, not Amazon.

The walls are pretty thin so I’m not sure if there is much room to bring that up to 7 feet but I’ll look into that in the future.

For reference, I have spent time as a Property Manager, Realtor, and Construction Manager in my career so I have a fairly high comfort level - don't need a full hand-hold. 

working backwards from 1% the property should be in the 340K range to be in the ballpark.  450k is overpriced.Keep looking, and doing the math on every deal you see to get used to the numbers.also, do the numbers both ways  4 x 850 (to see future investment cash flow when you move out), and 3 x 850 to understand how much out-of-pocket will your contribution to the mortage be (if any).don't forget to factor in property management cost, even if you plan to manage it.

Very difficult to value, must look at the value in current use vs what you think the future holds.

If you find and cultivate relationships with real estate attorneys or title companies, and you position yourself as a credible buyer (I will post how you do this even if you're a newbie in a separate post), they might refer you deals you will never find otherwise.
