So thanks to all the people who pushed me.I failed to find a brokerage to work for before I was finished, not the end of the world since I'm leaving the state in a week for a mini vacation and just want to find one before them.

I've never seen my real investments as "risky", but have never been able to explain that to anyone without giving mini lesson in real estate.

Custom built because I want to add an inlaw apartment and to design the house in a way where I don't have to interact with the tenants, as in, they have their own exits and entrances and perhaps make their bedrooms into mini studios (with full bathroom and kitchenette).

Today I make money regardless market conditions I actually average 18% of my capital now that market is not that great versus 7% when market was at its "best" there are so many ways to invest (stocks, options, mutual funds, futures, mini futures etc) ways to protect your money in case anything happens (insurance for your money)When it comes to real state there are ways to increase you purchasing power to at least 500% percent.

I  just put in ductless mini-splits and love them.

Our CFO's (cash flow opportunity sheets - mini pro-forma) have ALL anticipated expenses on them. 

It could be a decent appreciation play if you guess right, but if you buy after its announced you might be buying into a mini-bubble.

A few boards have actually stopped syndicating to Zillow in a mini rebellion. 

You should have mitigated your damages by buying either a mini fridge or even a cooler with some ice.

I also got estimates for mini-splits.
