I’d appreciate your perspectives.Here are the details about our current home:3/2 Class A property in a middle-America town with historically ~1% annual appreciation.Purchased in 2020 for $200,000 at a 3% 30-year fixed rate.Remaining mortgage: $150,000.Estimated value: $270,000 (based on recent sales).After selling costs: Likely $100,000 in net proceeds.Rental potential: $2,000–$2,300/month.PITI: $1,200/month ($700 mortgage + ~$500 insurance/taxes).Maintenance/CapEx/Vacancy (20%): ~$400/month.If kept as a rental:Net cash flow (self-managed): ~$500/month or ~$300/month with property management.Low appreciation potential but ~$400/month in principal paydown.Considerations:What’s the additional overhead of managing a second rental property remotely (3 hours away)?

My last transaction is up ~$1M above costs. 

The real prohibitive costs come from the legal, compliance, and reporting requirements of registering a security.

Which size of home is typically perform best on a cost benefit analysis?

Some may have very small thresholds for repair holdbacks on purchases but this is typically limited to make ready items not to exceed $2,500 in costs to cure.

Most of the industry is blue collar work and some of our tenants have their rent paid by their corporate HQ, our all in cost for a new home there is $250k and we are bringing in $3k a month in rent and have had zero vacancies. 

My model is NOT good for LTR as it's not cost effective. 

Give your state's 'cure' term ("In New Jersey, a tenant has three business days to pay rent and court costs after a judgment of possession is issued to avoid eviction.

Although the list may seem intensive, I look at it like this: The total cost of all these items can be much lower than the cost to repair a hidden surprise after purchasing a property to flip. 

There were a lot of costs that we didn't expect like the plumbing had to be completely redone.
