Knowing he was likely to deploy, we made adjustments to his lease to extend it 15 months so he can get settled and work on finding a new rental or buying a home (HOA doesn’t allow 3 vehicles or use of a 3rd parking stall, so once we’re all back, we work with management to get extended parking passes until we find a solution/park on the street or they find a new place for rent).

There is only one there, easy street

For that price, generally there are only relatively smaller beach condos (2 Bed 1 Bath maybe 2 Bath) a lot of which aren't necessarily beach front but are right across the street, all of which I'm perfectly okay with as long as I know the potential is there for good enough cashflow to get started investing.

If so, you would probably want to have those homes/lots designed for a future driveway to come off that street. 

I do have stocks but I wasn’t thinking that I should play the market but if the stock market keeps getting hammered, then I could see myself waiting to get some blue chips as the time to buy is when there is “blood in the streets”.

There’s a seller who has two duplexes on the same street, one rented, one vacant, and I’m curious to hear suggestions on buying them both, as a package deal, or just buying one individually.

To be honest, prices for material and services change constantly and any book will be outdated as soon as it hits the streets.

I live across the street from what was a 4,000+ sqft SFH that is now being split up into 6 condos.

not every house can be done with paint sprayers, it depends where the house is located sprays goes everywhere when near a street can sprays cars, too close to other houses can spray the windows,  depending on the color you will be in big trouble and you will be using lots of more paint do inferior quality 

My wife and I were driving down the street one day when we noticed an open house sign.
