In our reviews our lake, pool, size of our house and location relative to everything else gets the most mentions.

Holding the property should pay down the loan and give us tax benefits. 

My HOA pays for everything related to the structure and my cash flow is $200 after HOA dues so I only tend to keep 2 months of rent in reserves per unit + the tenant deposit

Main benefits to this strategy include:- Low down payment options (as low as 3-5%)- Acquisition experience- Property management experienceThe NYC metro area has nearly 2,000 available 2-4 unit listings on the market.Other new investors consider the BRRRR Strategy.All the best to you on your journey!

I am new to this and I would like to benefit from your experience please. 

You get your tax benefits.

Another benefit of this option is that it would allow you to get a conventional loan at 3-5% down. 

If it's related to nonpayment of rent, the changes they appeal is very low. 

Then you can see where your property would fall in relation to the comps (or if you are bringing a property online, you can see what you have to do to get to the higher range of the comps).

Over a weekend, with help from relatives, we gutted the interior.
