Choosing the wrong tenant can be a huge headache and awful experience.

Thanks for the response, you’re absolutely right to mention starting capital which makes a huge difference in what path is even possible.

Building codes will require a certain amount of parking, etc.The big thing from my understanding (I actually interviewed an expert in this area) is the retail space needs to be beneficial for the tenants.

This is a longer and more advanced process but with the right people on your team, you can easily see huge forced appreciation gains and you have a NEW rental product at the end of it so Hardly any CapEx expenses for the near term. 

HUGE!

That combo of early start and hustle will give you a huge advantage.A few pieces of advice that can help you grow faster: Leverage your agent status — Get really good at analyzing properties for clients; the same skills will help you recognize great investment deals for yourself.Network with investors and mentors — The sooner you surround yourself with experienced investors, the faster you’ll pick up practical knowledge and opportunities. 

This can be a huge liability for any buyer that can easily be avoided by a tank sweep.

The home field advantage in real estate is huge, it will make up for a LOT of other factors. 

All long term hold investors should greatly take pride in all their properties and stay on top of seasonal/preventative maintenance & checks in order to avoid huge expenses in the future.

Rental-Based Approval: The focus is on the property’s cash flow so if it’s rented, or has strong market rent, you have options.Happy to dig deeper if you’re comparing this route with conventional or just getting a feel for what’s possible.Oh so not tying up my personal DTI is huge.
