HI @Scott Gadea, the answer is:  Save more money ORInvest in a lower cost market Both are methods that people have used for years to generate great amounts of financial stability or wealth, but the latter is a wonderfully efficient arbitrage play AND many would recommend this because of the fact that your home market is a cyclical market and you'd be wise to build assets in linear markets, or at least hybrid markets that blend the benefits of the two.For more information on investing in real estate outside of your home base area, check out David Green's book Long Distance Real Estate Investing

Sometimes they can go right in a clean out, but if the angles are too big, the equipment can't get in.

At that point its yours to clean, prep and get ready to reent to the next person.

You'd be able to get a letter of environmental protection saying you did illegal work, got caught, then had to hire a professional to come in an clean up the mess. 

David Greene has a great process outline in the BRRRR book.

The one caveat being only if it is in really bad shape and needs to be cleaned up.Is it in good condition? 

this would get you to 24-32 tenants.My thought would be to have each room with it's own bathroom, hire a cleaning service for common areas, and building out a shared deck for the four buildings and maybe a smaller building as a common area as well.Any flaws to this idea, assuming numbers work out?

I am starting out my real estate journey and after reading several books, including David Green's "Long Distance Real Estate Investing (I am also from the Bay Area where real estate prices are crazy!)
