Okay, let's play this quickly assumed scenario...Some people I don't know but could develop a relationship with and others could be like my parentsIn some instances (like with parents) the money would be moved across state linesProvide a percentage of ownership1 person/couple per deal

I just say that as a broad based statement.. but I look at some of the actors in TExas for instance preying on the non English speaking Hispanic populations.. and its gross profiteering..  

For instance, when we moved and needed to rent an apartment, we couldn't just rent anything - we needed something with a charger for the Tesla.

I only have a few properties, but the value around the 9 unit purchase price in @Damon Wongs teal seemed similar, for instance I owe 1.1, value is 1.6-1.7, I can pool these two into one loan, and use some basic equity to grab another so I don't have to do the "20%" down, since a lot of it will come from equity.

It is not unusual for grad students for instance to have student loans in the $100,000+ range.

For instance if you add a coffee maker in the bedroom with a built in orange juice presser and a sitting vanity built in the corner with electric and water, it will not raise the appraisal.

Expenses are:$1,684 in Taxes last year$892 for Instance last year $388 maintenance last year $1,972 in Utilities (id pay Gas, electric, sewage, water)I haven't yet purchased a property so I welcome suggestions as to how much I should save for maintenance as well as CapEx. 

With regards to licensing/union 'ladders' - perhaps there's a correlation there between achievement of (for instance) journeyman or years in a union - however even if that was true - there doesn't appear to be correlation between the 'other' important things - caring a little, not drinking on the job, not stealing stuff, etc.I don't know.

You don't need a team to call people with property posted on Craigslist, for instance.

Im no expert on your area but at least in the US this isn't that normal. most buildings round my area have everything separate and thats the best way to bill everyone, well they infect would get billed directly in this instance.
