You could get into a solid multi-unit or a single-family rental with real cash flow instead of hoping your Katy rental eventually fills.Not saying you should walk just yet, but if leasing drags out longer than expected, would you consider selling and reinvesting somewhere with better returns?

In Pittsburgh it’s the only way to buy rentals haha!

I assume it would be better to short term rentals if I’m going to have a passive approach so it it more profitable.

I'm a local investor and I've owned rental properties in Florida as well as Colorado. 

It is one street over from the single unit we bought last year (our first rental) so it's very conveniently located and in a familiar market. 

Your background in commercial sales and already owning a rental in Manchester’s North End puts you in a great position to scale.

You've done well with your Class A rental, generating $500/mo in cash flow, this adds up over time.

I am an aspiring investor educating myself in the rental game.

I currently have a rental property and am looking at getting my real estate license and building a property management and property maintenance company to serve my investments and potentially others.  

I operate a few rentals in the Watertown NY area.
