Hello BP community,I have found a house that I think I could make some updates to, finish the basement, and possibly make some money on it. This will be my first real estate purchase, but even if I break even the expe...

I am opening up the question to all investment vehicles. 

Since I am highly involved in the business it is also able to pay many of my expenses (vehicle, phone etc).

Meaning, you can go to the local car dealership, show you are a millionaire on paper, but can you actually afford the most expensive vehicle on the lot in cash, on the spot, with a same day purchase? 

My tenants called and the washing machine motor went.

Things to look for include location, neighboring properties, condition of the roof, condition of the gutters (full gutters sometimes lead to water intrusion), cars in the driveway during normal work hours, expired registration on vehicles, double-pane windows, condition of the siding and paint, type of foundation, pool (if you can see it).

Working from home also has the impact of less stress, as commuting is less and as a result of this, you have environmental benefits from lower vehicle emissions.For college students I think it maybe a bit more difficult as their interactions and relations fostered in college has a significant impact on their future.

There is a huge demand not only for owner occupied 2-4 units, aka house hack, but also there is demand for pure investors not looking to owner occupy.  2-4 units are a popular investment vehicle and is loudly touted from the roof tops in my circles, REIA groups and all over the web including here where the term house hacking was invented by @Brandon Turner, though I think I personally did house hacking before him, but didn't know the term.I have related in print previously about a friend of mine who bought, a condo, 3 townhouse, a 3 unit apartment, a 4 unit apartment building and a farm; all as an owner occupant. 

In connected manner if part of your strategy is to reap equitable gains generally speaking a SFH investment is your best vehicle to reap such as a MFH has a primary valuation based upon revenue production which rents do not tend to swing as significantly as home values can in a supply demand situation or in a re-class situation such as flips, done correctly, focus upon. 

What does your lease agreement say about trailers or oversized vehicles?
