.- get into real estate with a lower rate and lesser percentage down payment.

I had to do an elaborate french drain system with multiple pumps as the lower level units would get water with hard rains. 

Could do I a lot less to get lower rents (for example an upgrade may be $10-$15k where a bare minimum repairs and cleaning may only be $1-2k).

Just because Zillow estimates a lower value, doesn't mean people will offer lower than the list price.Also, be careful about the laws with the association and renters.

NOTE: A lower OER indicates a more profitable property as a larger portion of the income is retained after covering operating costs.Hope that helps!
