Beach and maritime themed decorations if near the ocean, moutainy stuff in the mountains, spurs and horse shoes in the southwest/desert, etc.

If I were in your shoes looking to break into multifamily under $250K with light renovation potential, here’s how I’d think it through: I’d personally lean toward multiple smaller multifamily units (think duplexes or triplexes) rather than sinking everything into a single property.

If you were in their shoes what would you do?

I’ve been in your shoes, working long 12-hour shifts and feeling burnt out.

I was in your shoes 7 years ago when I realized I didn't want the rest of my career heading in the direction it was going. 

Not sure who will fill his shoes.

Quote from @Chris Seveney: @Don Konipol100% agreeWho knows how this pans out but if you go tohttps://noradacapital.com it says current holdings and those include radio shack, pier 1, linens and things etc.So without seeing any paperwork you were investing in essentially an accredited mutual fund from someone who says they were a real estate guyFor me - if I put myself in those shoes as a real estate guy trying to run a fund of private or public companies all not real estate related- I have ZERO experience in that.

I was in your same shoes about 9 years ago. 

Make sure to understand the micro-markets within the metro.Start with one market, connect with local investors/property managers there, and run sample numbers on multiple properties to get a feel for returns.If I were in your shoes, I’d pick a landlord-friendly market where my money goes further and start with a single-family turnkey that can produce $250–350/month net cash flow.

In my shoes would you take the time to use the city to enforce any type of removal of the tree and pursue compensation for damages?
