I appreciate that Propwire is free, so I'll continue to use it unless the data proves to be inaccurate. 

To place a new question and attempt to continue the conversation, when did you know you were ready for larger multi-family purchases?

Property prices plunged, but rental income continued uninterrupted.

@Zach PendrySo they are saying past twelve months no tenant has missed a payment and they have had continuous 100% occupancy.

That said, over a long time horizon, and for investors who are willing to take chips off the table and not continually double down on PML, it's a great return and the spread is large enough to make a big difference.

Find a STR that cash flows (yes there are plenty as long as you are not looking in Orlando), purchase and self manage for the first year, find a CPA that specializes in the cost seg, and then you can find a PM or continue self managing.  

@Cory Iannacone 2% rules disappeared in my market around 2019/2020 as rates went down and prices continually went up.

So the "Act of God" will continue to happen.

The biggest challenge is continued profitability. 

If you don't get more traction in the next few weeks, you might want to decide whether it's worth holding and renting out or continuing with a sale at a lower price point.### 5.
