In this market, with interest rates and prices at where they are, they're usually not viable (i.e. don't cash flow).

you'll probably still need something long term like software as others have suggested but this was a thought i had... you could see the actual profit or loss from a tax perspective for each property.

They expect you to live in one unit, BUT I have never heard of anyone from the lender go and  check in on you to see if you are actually living there. 

In this case we are the renters of the space and did not have any reason to think the sq ft was calculated on anything other than actual measured space since we also pay a CAM fee.

You should cover the mortgage and all other expenses, actual or projected.

Was just going over with my wife both the increase in Occupancy revenue change and the 2023 versus 2024 Marketing spend for this location. 

Everyone always wants to know "How is the market?".

L-ville has it's pockets so you really need to know that market well.

Those that are actually good, get called upon/mailed/emailed an obscene amount by other investors.

What I meant was avoid markets that are only cash flow markets.
