In some areas it is de rigor for Class C units to have window ac or sleeve ac, And get Market rent.

Quote from @Devin De Lange: Hi Anthony, I'm sorry to hear you are going through this, but happy to hear you made a decision that is best for you in the long term. 

If you don't mind debt at this point you could move further into NNN ownership which gives you plenty of opportunity to be involved without being on call 24/7.I'm thinking though that you might be a better candidate to use the Delaware Statutory Trust to keep your toes in the water but also have more leisure time while still generating income.DSTs work well with 1031 because you must vet them like a piece of real estate not a stock. 

Today's market in New York attracts so many wannabe's investors and property scouts that don't really knows what they are doing , approaching homeowners of crappy houses promising them bag full of cash (way above market value) and trying to market the property to new investors that going to loose their pants in the nearly future, NO ONE can convince me that a crappy two family frame house in bushwick NY worth 800k it is just De-Javier of 2007 right before the big crisis. back then i saw some smart *** investors buying houses just like today with their 401k and hard money loans and lost everything in few month.

The DE (Designated Underwriter) can clear loan stipulations on their own and then turns to the Sponsor for docs and funding.

When my inspector got there the house hadn’t been de-winterized and all of the electrical fuses were in the off position so none of the water or electric could be inspected.

Dolf de Roos's quote is exactly right - the deal of a lifetime comes about once a week.

Although I don't have much knowledge on the US West Coast market, je suis un jeune Montréalais de 21 ans that is just starting out and I would love to hear your business advice and expertise for young investors in Montréal et les alentours!

For example many investors use a DST (Delaware Statutory Trust) and/or a "series LLC," but a DST is not available to residents of CA.  

I said yup.. so I sit to have my coffee and she comes over and starts to tell me how she listened to a pod cast on BPWendell De Guzman she did no checking on him no background no nothing just though because of the pod cast and other flowery post that she could trust him.. well she lost over 100k.. a simple credit report and criminal background like you give a tenant.. all you need is their name and SS, you don't need finger, this  would have showed her his name was an alias and he was in all sorts of financial trouble prior to changing his name.. and she would not have lost her 100k..
