Besides the stress, the other main factor that I want to point out is- time and use of money.Wholesaling would have been much faster and that money could be used for the next deal faster.

sounds like someone got a nasty gram.. we see this with the syndicators that are called out then threaten the investor who called them out.. or anyone else companing about a service only to have the company either threaten or tell them if you take this down or retract we will give you your money back.. kind of like landlords lying about how great their dead beat tenant is to just get them to move on to the next landlord. 

Nothing will piss off the inspector faster than missing an inspection.My last piece of advice, in an effort to not make this a book length post, deals with the money.

Faster TurnaroundsSmaller projects often take a backseat for licensed contractors, causing delays.

It does beat the expected inflation rate of 2% set by the Fed.Rents will remain about the sameWhat’s interesting is they also expect:A 11.7% increase in existing home inventory followed by Single-family new home starts growing at an impressive 13.8%. 

@Greg Scott Yep, I’ll be at TACOM, I’m looking forward to getting up there! 

So much depends on your intended move out date since you said you're moving out faster than expected.

Househack properties in 2024 sold 1-2 weeks faster than they did in 2023.Deals are tougher to negotiate as well. 2 of NYC's surrounding Counties (Westchester & Suffolk) are averaging above asking price sales on 2-4 family properties. 

If this is not something you're interested in delving into and learning to a high degree, then investing in publicly traded REITs would be another good option for you, which have historically returned about 13.5 per cent Per year over the past 50 years (1977-present), beating the US stock market by two per cent and even beating private real estate investing by 4 per cent (that's compared with the average real estate investor, not the experts here at Bigger Pockets).

This is how I see it:Single-Family Homes:Pros:Larger pool of potential tenants (families).Simpler management (one tenant, one lease).Often easier to finance.May appreciate faster in some markets.Cons:Only one income stream.Vacancy hits harder financially.Duplexes:Pros:Two potential income streams.Live in one unit and rent the other (house hacking!)
