He replaced some interior parts and we were good to go. initially.Well, then my second crappy sub comes along and I hired him to do A LOT of work (bad idea, now I dribble work out to people in tiny doses.)

Perhaps the next one they view they will  read what is written in the ad.GailThis is symptomatic of the tenant who is sending stuff to every possibility, and they can't recall any details about anything due to the quantity of inquiries they made. 

Tiny flats (apartments) can be £400000 (yes, four hundred thousand!)

That means taking down two walls around the tiny kitchen to open it up to the dining room and living room, tile the floor, put in an island, and redo the bathroom completely (tile for floor and walls).

Since you are new and an unknown quantity, they will want to err on the side of caution.

I can live for free for a year with the fourplex right away and then cashflow a little less when I move out, but the apartments are very tiny, I can imagine there will be a lot more turn over in finding new tenants..Any advice or insight would be great!

My rental portfolio yields about $13k/mo, I have one tiny mortgage left (I owe $18k on a $350,000 triplex that grosses $3150/mo -- my payment is $750/mo; will be gone before second child goes to college.)

The guy with the tiny house trying to get a approval for a 2nd garage parking space was in a suit and all of the people working with him, engineers and architects etc came in suits and tiesThe guy with the huge estate who wanted to build a colossal unnecessary back porch showed up in a hoodie and flip flops (it was 32 degrees out) he acted annoyed he even needed to show up.

I would focus on quality flips over quantity.

It is a tiny piece of Bidens proposed tax and spending increase.
