At lease here in CT some areas are not allowed to be multi family or mixed use commercial.

I am looking to purchase a self storage facility but am having a difficult time finding the unit mix.

., for any of our mixed use commercials & no-one has complained.

To your point, I'm at the point where I do feel the need to diversify my income streams somewhat, and have already added a REIT to mix, and am beginning to incorporate a balanced index fund approach via Vanguard. 

@Ed Emmons I hope I'm not messing with proper protocol on this forum, but wanted to ask all of the Maine investors what they're thoughts are on mini split heating/cooling.We just bought a house in Winterport that we might be able to turn into a buy and hold; however, I've seen mixed reviews on using mini splits.

What is the mix of population.

Absentee Owners with Equity have been popular for years, but that means that they might be getting multiple offers every week in their mailbox – so best to mix things up with multiple lists.You can work with a list broker to optimize your list for your area.

I have two led lights out on my personal pool that’s going to cost $750 to change since I’m not about mixing electrical wires and water lol. 

It will mix sfh with rental units.  

Thank you everyone for the feedback, I did think of going with the multi family route, I live in phoenix the east part of the valley and with my budget of $290k so when it comes to the multi family anything I can afford is in a rougher area that at least 40 mins away. so at this stage in life I am looking for a single family. my sweet spot is between $250k-290k, however this price range is very competitive.
