Good to know that I should look at seller financing first....I hold 5 properties (making up 17 doors) in NC and TN since 2020. 

I just closed on a duplex in Dayton for $189K $1100 a door and have an investor closing on a 4 unit for $325K in Indy with great rents that cash flow over $1000 a month.I have seen Indiana, & Ohio pick up some major heat over the last 3 years for investors while Boise falls somewhat short.

Would you have reduced the rent if your next door neighbor started a construction project?

It would also be best to have someone go inside every closet and door.

I doubt congress envisioned people self-managing multiple single-door motels on the side while holding down a full-time job. 

Selfstorage, flex buildings, next door properties.  

We have seen Brampton become a popular city for duplex properties as many of them have basement with separate entrances.

With midterm rentals, there's a lot more work getting a tenant in the door but it's less work from the management side once someone moves in.

When I purchase properties I look for positive cash flow (over $300/door, at least) and hope for appreciation.I don't want to put $ every month because I'm losing money between taxes, insurance, expenses, vacancy, property management, etc.BTW, I live in Manhattan and it's a similar situation with the Bay Area.

Another property continually has squatters even with boards up and bars in front of the windows and doors.
