He runs a successful car dealership and plans to provide the funds while I handle the rest.

And a full service car wash to boot. 

We use white cotton duvet covers and wash after each guest stay.  

A bit on the high end, but entirely turnkey with what looked to be a very nice couple with a baby as tenants downstairs and upstairs all redone with a screened in balcony and on my way home literally less than a block away I see a guy knocking a for sale sign into the ground, so I parked my car home and walked down the hill and asked him what he was selling it for.

While there is divider between it, it is wide enough to park 4 cars side by side (two on each side) assuming the property line is down the middle of the driveway.

i am stuck on which strategy is best for me in acquiring my first investment property. i am 18 years old, in my first year of my electrical apprenticeship. being a first year i am not making enough money to save cash and pay my car payment/insurance every month, and other needs: gas, food, etc. i want to get my first property this year and i thought that house hacking would be the right move for me. i found a duplex that rents $1,250 and already has two tenants inside of it but to be able to afford a down payment realistically i would have to use my FHA and jump in the other side. after talking to some people around me i would be having to pay quite a bit out of pocket every month for the mortgage and i just don't make enough money right now to do that. i want to be great more than anything in this world. this is all i think about all day every day and it drives me crazy. i have to acquire a property this year to satisfy myself. i just don't have the right people around me to help me make the right decisions in the real estate market, so i am trying to figure out all of this on my own and it is getting overwhelming. with my situation what would be the best strategy to aquire a property this year. i am not submitting to saving money for years, i have to do this. i made a promise to myself. 

Like Detroit, Saint Louis is incredibly "block by block" where one area is experiencing gentrification or at least just a stable middle class feel and that might only be 100 yards away from a street that will be un rentable, un managemeable, and honestly a bad place to get out of your car.  

In Portland, extra tasks include power washing driveways, patios and walkways.

A few days ago, my tenant's car caught on fire in the driveway of a duplex that I own.

I had a piece of land under contract to build 3 affordable homes on ($275-325k in my market, 3 bed 2 bath with 2 car garage), had the land under contract for pennies, but it was problem after problem discovering the seller did not own the lot behind it like they stated (backed up to another street) and a mortgage had recently been pulled out on it.
