Granted once I rent out the unit I leave, after vacancy and everything we would cash flow almost 400(minus heloc as well)All the deals I find.

And what happens after the 5, 7 or 10 years depends on the lender but typically it would be a balloon payment.

You can then measure the cash flow impact versus the potential cash you would obtain upon a sale.

After about 10 years I have accumulated a fair amount of small multifamily properties. 

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!

Every year realtor.com releases a Top Housing Markets report based on anticipated sales growth (inventory) and price growth (appreciation).

Pretty soon after purchasing it, we have had several problems, many of which likely occurred due to our lack of enough due diligence. 

Purchase price: $395,000 Cash invested: $100,000 Sale price: $570,000 Such a fun project!

After that I bought another SFR to BRRRR and then is when things started to go wrong.-  The SFR had huge foundation issues.

We could make a decent down payment with the 40k, but due to us having little money left over at the end of the month, I'm worried about buying another deal with minimal cash left over after the down payment and not having two mortgages.
