Thoughts on building new, say 4 unit build?

I'm in the rust belt and there is a lot of vacant land for cheap in nice areas. How're the returns vs reno and the process of financing and permitting?

Get ready for lots of nimby-ism. If you’re looking around and don’t see lots of similar to what you want to build and or lots of SF stuff then you’re in for a fight.

4Plexs are nice....

Look into senior living facilities. Build a small community of ranch-style homes with an epicenter for the community to come together and spend time with friends and family. #SilverTsunami

In 10-20 years you could subdivide and sell off the properties individually. #SafetyNet

Warning: You may make millions of dollars if you do this right. Good luck! 🙂

I’m pretty responsive for things they need help with like laundry machine got broken or pantry doors fell off. So I had sent people to fix those maintenance and repair issues.

But light burbs? Srlsy? They are grown up people (fresh out of college girls)

I thought it adds value to have whirlpool tub. But can’t even change fixture. Should I get rid of it?
