@James Carlson I'm not even sure if we will see density bring prices down really, but keeping them at a maintainable level long term is definitely a goal and one that I agree with on a personal level.

When the economy tanks and the sponsors compensation is drastically reduced, the sponsor makes the decision to maintain there lifestyle at the investor’s expense. 

Inspect regularly, then remove the tenants who can't maintain their units in decent condition.

There are many benefits to maintaining a mortgage.

And I maintain that IRS Publications are not an authority for anything and contain multiple errors.

Continue acquiring properties in promising markets to build your portfolio while keeping an eye on interest rates to potentially refinance your high-interest loan for better cash flow.Save capital to maintain liquidity, allowing you to act quickly when market conditions improve or unexpected expenses arise.

If you plan on paying cash for a house hack then it's just a matter of much cash fo you have to purchase and do you have at least 6 months of reserves available to maintain the home when you're not brining in incomeThose are my thoughts

Even with a well-maintained home, routine issues can pop up unexpectedly, and it might be challenging to coordinate repairs or address tenant concerns from a distance, especially if there's a significant time difference.While the 7% to 10% fee for a property manager can seem like an unnecessary expense, it can provide peace of mind, especially if you won't be readily available.

However, make sure to communicate any noise policies to guests to maintain good relations with neighbors.Pricing Strategy: Research similar properties in the area to set competitive pricing.

When that buyer closed did they review the roof warranty ahead of time and what is required for inspections to maintain the roof?
