You don’t think you’d lose $100’s of thousands not being able to sell each house separately?

@Bryan LaIf they have a lease agreement in place and are not month to month then you are stuck with the lease terms.If you plan to double the rent you'll lose the tenants, may not be a bad idea as you are looking to rehab.Legal considerations...

Since I never own a house, I don't want to lose out on first home incentive,  and the new house I want to lease not own!

Get the most mileage you can out of this + a blog and then when you are at a tipping point or losing proven business because of your lack of a fully spun website, jump to one of the big hosting and design companies.

I don't want to get ourselves into something that cost us to lose money to start, when starting small would have sufficed. 

I’ve had dark dreams about losing it all, and having to crawl before a new boss. 

The process is the same, but you will probably lose some deals that can't be financed due to condition of the home or motivated sellers may only want a cash offer. 

The philosophy that has served me well when investing is this: Never risk more than you can afford to lose without losing sleep. 

Losing tens, and sometimes 6 figures, worth of value can hurt generational wealth.I always like to ask questions before getting emotional just to ensure there wasn't something I missed on my end.

The lowest property taxes combined with a location that isn't going to lose its appeal anytime soon Seattle, Austin, and stew other cities are also attractive, mostly due to booming prices due to tech that probably won't slow anytime soon.As for the property itself, I'm leaning heavily toward a townhome/ rowhome-style fourplex.
