In general, if you are looking for build, then you will need to either build slowly with 20% down and continue to reinvest your extra cash flow or find other ways to purchase properties. $115k is a great start, but it will be eaten up quickly in 4-5 SFHs between down payment, repairs, closing, and entity creation.

You can try and take them to small claims court later if you feel like it (its not worth it) but if they move out on their own volition and don't damage the place that is usually the best you can hope for.

Yeah, I’m having a hard time believing you want to cancel because you had some “potential extra risk”, you did agree to let them do some work, as opposed to you think the house is worth more now.  

I am looking to convert a 3 car garage to another unit in one of the buildings (already has extra kitchen and bathroom).

I decided to finally buckle down to do this part time from extra income and to build up before I decide to do it full-time.Any suggestions on which state, on-line courses and/or brokers for this new journey?

With Whole Foods and Starbucks they usually open in neighborhoods that are already pretty decent , I’d say with Whole Foods especially .

Same usually goes for single families, usually if you can get a property to cash flow you can also sell it for a profit.

I used the extra money I had to complete the renovations and this quick flip turned into a 4 year learning experience. 

@Anthony Testino Perhaps there is opportunity to use crypto assets as collateral / getting crypto backed loans - however, fees high and the usual caveats about crypto etc etc but you usually do not have to sell your crypto to borrowCompanies already doing this/or serving as lending platforms :  SALT, Unchained Capital ,BlockFi

Great answer Brian and as usual, candid and insightful.
