All that means is you've got bring your best to all aspects of the property and the listing itself -- location, furnishings, photography, heck, even the listing headline all matter a lot.At the risk of pitching here, my wife's YouTube is filled with a ton of great MTR content on setting up a listing.

If it was bought as an investment property, it works great as an investment property. 

Purchase price: $275,000 Cash invested: $294,000 Sale price: $355,000 Seller was behind on pay HOA payments and in risk for losing the property.

Study what kind of properties sell, for how much, and what kind of tenants live there.Think with a 10year+ vision, but a decently sound property (not a 1900 single family conversion that is begging for a full gut rehab), and but in the RIGHT location. 

If you buy a different investment, you'll still need a place to live.Buy a house hack every two years and you'll have five properties and 40 unis in ten years.

I  Income:  The amount of property you can buy will be dependent on your Debt to Income ratio.  

Congrats @Emily Pena - I'm also an agent (working mostly with investors), property manager and an investor myself (currently owning 26 rental units). 

Just because other people might be getting away with it for now doesn't mean they couldn't crack down on you after you buy a property their.

Ryan, If you're a BiggerPockets Pro member, consider using RentRedi or Stessa for property management.

I also know I can look at ways of borrowing against that equity (HELOC for example) but I also just feel like if I take debt on that property the cashflow goes down, and then if the association also takes the loan it goes down more, and at that point I don't know why it would be a better option than selling before August.
