Good stuff to think about, thank you Sebastian.It's cool to see extra replies from time to time on this post as I continue with the ideas.It's interesting, I looked into different DSTs and had conversations but just didn't feel comfortable with what I felt was a lack of control or ability to really know the operators and properties.I also kept running the numbers and just couldn't make 1031s into other properties make sense with the new interest rates compared to what I have now. 

If landlord pays water/sewer, and with more occupants you know you will see higher water usage, think you could make a logical case for some additional rent or per person fee to cover that. 

Problem with including utilities in the rent is some tenants can abuse it (eg leave water running, windows open, etc).

It sounds cool to invest with no- or low-money down, but the honest truth about seller finance and sub to is that the majority of deals that get done with low- or no-money down are by people who do have the money to do the deal.

However, here’s the catch with roofs: if it gets to the point where wind or water can creep in, small leaks can become big problems fast.

Think of all the horror stories about tenants maxing out the heat with their windows open during the winter, deliberately running water bills up, etc.

Add another $20 a month for that.Add in HOA fees ($300 a month; shown in your link), Gas, electricity, high-speed internet, water, trash and snow removal. 

I'm particularly passionate about Fix and flips and Airbnb.Outside of real estate, I enjoy spending the valuable moments with family, friends and building fresh water fish tank aquariums as a hobby.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

I know the overall market seems to be cooling some, but where do you see Blue Island property value going in the next 5-10 years?
