You need the backup option in case the mid-term rental market changes.Minimizing turn costs and downtime is critical.

My units are rented but one tenant is month to month and under market.

The key for me wasn't to invest in the 'best place' but to know a market so well that a deal jumps off the page when it appears.

The lender will use the market rent as qualifying income.

Are you looking in other markets outside of NY? 

Cleveland and Dayton can be great markets for high cash flow and low purchase prices, but you need to be careful when navigating the neighborhoods so you're not buying in a D/F class area where no property managers will manage and where you'll never see any positive cash flow.

You’ve already got a solid foundation—understanding market trends, deal structuring, and negotiations will give you a great head start.I would recommend focusing on learning one niche at a time.

Are the tenants paying market rents?
