Even the most meticulously crafted plans can frequently go off track due to unmet responsibilities or unforeseen events.This is the essential characteristic of the real estate industry.

Thanks, Ajit Singh You need to not come on these forums seeking a mentor, you need to come here to study.The same characteristics that helped build out your business will not mirror 1 for 1 in RE but it'll be close.

Particularly for your first few properties, I'd highly recommend that you manage the property yourself (if possible), but that's usually only possible (or most effective) if you live near the property or visit it frequently.

@Jennie Berger The RS-3 Zone allows for Single-Family residences & 2-Flats as "Permitted Uses"; however, the RS-3 Zone still requires 2,500 sq.ft. of lot area per unit (i.e. 5,000 sq.ft. for a 2-flat) unless the lot meets the exception for the characteristic of the block as previously mentioned by Nicolas; then it can be reduced to 1,500 sq.ft. per unit in order to construct a 2-flat.

So, while I do agree with the above characteristics of a D class neighborhood by responders, I don't think that is the whole story.
