I've gotten to a place where I can say I am happy with all of those facets of my life, so I turned my attention back to that rental house.

If you aren't at that point yet, I'd back up and start paying close attention to the MLS in your area.

just give Josh some slack for picking on Detroit LOL. pay attention to books the guests suggest, so so many great books; and of course, ,read Rich Dad, Poor Dad by R Kiyosaky good luck! 

My Questions: What did you have that was the turning point for you to turn your attention from SFH and small MF to bigger commercial buildings? 

You may be able to make minor updates to the bath for a lower priced home and get some bites but depending on the condition of the property, pay close attention to the kitchen. 

We will definitely hold on to our money, just thought that title would catch attention lol no harm at all.

Just speculating here but you'd probably have to also pay attention to lease payment terms so that you avoid the risk of loss passing from the seller.As an aside @Lien Vuong, I think you meant to say that the 45 day identification period starts with the closing of the sale and runs concurrently with the 180 day exchange period.

Some specific things I always pay attention to on properties (whether they're owner occupied or investments) are: -Max out the liability portion.

I had a major plumbing issue on Christmas Day which needed my attention immediately.

As a buyer/seller, you won't have my attention beyond 15-20 pages.
