While many elements can contribute to the scale of a residential structure, designs should minimize the appearance of over or excessive building substantially in excess of existing structures in the neighborhood.

I’m really at a loss of what to do?

I've found that MOST tenants will at least do minimal upkeep on the yard. 

It’s similar to a hard money loan but minimal fees and much better interest rates.

Minimizing taxes is more of an accountant skill

The offerings vary, but generally it provides a landlord with $100,000 of coverage from their tenants (or tenants guests) accidents or negligence that causes a loss to your asset. 

@Sharlene Mulchandani, thank you for your recommendation, that would be a good way of mitigating potential “deserters” from the room mates and loss of rent payments

@Andy NathanIn my opinion , managing the repair and maintenance costs can mean the difference between being profitable long term versus breaking even or even having losses.

Minimal repairs, etc.

I wonder if it just makes more sense to find good buy/hold cashflow multi-unit properties.Does anyone out there have any advice to maximize the use of my capital/passion, while minimizing the use of my time/energy?
