@Michael Swan  one reason you are getting this folks reaching out to you is that BP is a basically begineers website.. granted there area a core of experienced folks here like a J Scott and others.but the vast majority are trying to start their investing careers and they come here for free adviceand boy you can get a lot of it...

@Parris Edwards I read Brandon Turner's book, How We Bought a 24-Unit Apartment Building for (Almost) No Money Down ($0.99 on Amazon) and it's a basic instructional guide that buying a multi-family property is possible using the same type of creative financing for buying a single family home.I'm almost done with reading How to Make Big Money in Small Apartments by Lance Edwards ($0.99 on Amazon) and this book focuses on using creative financing for multifamily property and building passive income.I've highlighted quite a bit in this book and it's encouraging to know that this too, is a way to successfully build passive income and grow a rental portfolio, something that I will endeavor to accomplish.I'm sure that you will hear from some people here on BP who are successfully buying/investing in multifamily real estate.

But I got a basic education and really that's all you need in this business.

I've got one house that has a basement suite and the upstairs is about to get renovated and rented out as well.

And then show the value that you're creating along with the before and after of it.And maybe some gotchas too (i.e. finishing a basement and needing to add an egress widnow etc). 

As a landlord, you can, in your lease, add a base charge for utilities you pay for.

The funny thing is the police stole from me "through taxes"I wasn't going to respond any more to this pseudo-anarchy, coffee shop philosopher stuff, but after reading your answer, I simply have to make a basic statement, and then, it is truly done:You continually state that the taxes don't belong to the government, but I say, and YOUR ACTIONS say that they do.

Account Closed,We only actively buy in an area very close to a base, and military housing is a big reason why we picked it!     

@Becky LuAround here your end costs for a basic laminate or sheet vinyl {all but the cheapest, paper-thin stuff} will be about the same.
