For his first two years here he stayed in a rooming house, because he couldn’t afford his own house or apartment.After World War II this country “got rich”, affordable housing became plentiful as “the suburbs” were developed.  

I'd love to hear any thoughts on my strategy if you'd stay away from Multi-family or if that's the right call.

Let's stay connected and continue to learn from one another. 

Budget wise I would like to stay below $220,000 for the house. 

Also stay away from craigslist.

I obviously have no interest in boyfriend staying as they are constantly a week late on rent and I suspect to not receive another dime moving forward.

I use Monarch for personal purposes, they use 3 aggregators, and I've had no problems staying connected to all my accounts. 

After I raised this issue with RTR, they knew they fu*ked and they paid me some money as compensation and asked me to stay quiet and not post anything negative (which I am clearly not doing).

If the deal works with 20-25% down, it will only look better with 50% down.The key is to stay disciplined.

If you are the lone supplier of a specific housing product and there's pent up demand you will absorb your units quicker and have tenant stay longer given the lack of alternatives.
