Have my eye on over 20K of office space in DC as we're expanding and have a need to hire an additional up 65 personnel. 

Layer in additional costs and you are looking at 7-10% costs before operating.

In addition, I'm hearing from one of the tenants, that some people might be selling drugs somewhere close to the building and then staying in my basement somehow. 

RIGHT OF TERMINATION AND RE-ENTRY:In the event of any breach of payment of rent or any other allowed charge, or other breach to this lease, Landlord shall have full right to terminate this Lease in accordance with state law and re-enter and re-claim possession of the leased premises, in addition to such other remedies available to Landlord arising from said breach.I already reached out to her and told her she needs to get the pets out of the property of which she replied that it was for a friend who was out of town for the weekend and the pet will be gone today.What can i do if i find out there are still pets in the property.   

Also, if you are doing tear downs and or large additions n higher end markets, you can’t use the same template each time for everything, but you can for some items (paint colors for instance).It is efficient to have name, description, item numbers, etc on a spreadsheet of items you typically buy which makes ordering materials quick and easy.

@Mohamed NagoorYou should look at this in a separate few steps:1) You fund your LLC (shareholder contribution) with $100k2) Your LLC spends $70k on inventory (the house), and puts in an additional $30k to improve the inventory.

I will be happy to provide additional information privately.

In addition the real estate investment journey in flipping/whole tailing (no deals to date, still on the hunting mission, we’ll get there), my wife and I are considering moving out of our home (70% Ltv, been our homestead for >3yrs), getting rid of PMI to lower mortgage payment then renting it out as a positive cash flowing long term investment and buying/moving into a new home then rinse repeat in another 2 years.

Then you can convert an existing structure or add a new Accessory dwelling unit on the property which can be rented for additional cash.All the choices have their pros and cons.

@Teren CooleyYes - some states do have some additional taxes/roadblocks to get into real estate.
