I have family down there and they are driving for dollars and I will be long distance investing with them.

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

I focus on rural, single family and duplexes.

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

I'm still focusing on small multi-families mainly 3-4 units.

@Krystal Lozano A good majority of areas still produce day 1 cash flow for multi family in Pittsburgh with a 20-25% down payment.

I was playing with the idea of selling my condo, taking 300k of the equity to put a down payment towards a house listed at 660k.I'm assuming the reno will run $300/sqft and going in with the assumption that phase 1 will run 750k (figure the expansion of the house will have to wait) for the gut reno.I assume/hope (but definitely not banking on) that I will be able to refi in 2-3 years at a lower interest rate; if not for a lower rate.This will likely be a family home for the next 5-10 years at LEAST so investment value isn't quite at top of mind ATM.Questions:Even if it's not for lower interest rate, do you feel it's advisable to refi to remove the 203 loan in the future?

@Isaac Hanai I am a multi-family agent and multi-family investor in St.

My vision for CountOnCam LLC is to be a company that would like to provide a shared housing experience for women and children, immigrants, and low income families.

Quote from @Trent Reeve: i would think they would have more amenities than a non-condo.I think the reference was how do you stand out from one condo to another when they are all identical, vs how do you compete with single family homes.
