You should talk with lenders to get an idea of what you can actually afford though it doesn't really matter if you talk with an agent first since most agents will have lender recommendations.

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

Prices are high, and rental income usually doesn’t make the math work.

Once that phase is complete, I’d transition back into long-term holds.As for the cash-out refi, without at least doubling the rent, I’d be in a net-negative position each month, which doesn’t seem like a worthwhile trade-off.On the tenant side, I agree with your point about the business aspect—it’s something I’m working on coming to terms with.

A price reduction doesn't solve the issues this property presents.

And it doesn't even talk about what happens at the end because I guess they all just assumed we'd accidentally fly our cars into the sun in 99 years. 🫠  but there has been some legislation passed that prevents them from going more than 50 year leases.

Nasty doesn’t mean dirty☺️.  

I would also just put it up as soon as you can.. that's the best way to get started, it doesn't really matter what season it is.

You’re online listing doesn’t need to be a comprehensive photo shoot of every single nook and cranny of your home  

I just had a vacancy come up in the middle of a fourplex escrow and the seller had the unit re-rented in under a week for $50/more per month. 6) Yes it's hot, but with individual metering the landlord doesn't foot the electric bill 7) Yes the market is competitive here, but mostly for 3/4 unit properties.
