Hi BiggerPockets Community,I’m looking for advice on breaking even or generating positive cash flow with my studio condo in Prospect Heights, NYC.

To go from 0 is "breaking in" the the biz.

That can sometimes break usury laws in some states I believe.

RESOLVE this issue NOW and make a clean break. 

They pay rent before the due date, clean the property after every client, and if something breaks they usually repair it before I'm aware because their clients will give them bad ratings.

Co-living isn’t just an alternative to traditional rentals—it’s a way to maximize cash flow, lower risk, and attract investors.To make this post more insightful, I’ve included graphs and visuals that break down the key benefits of co-living and why serious investors should be paying attention.1.

To rent the home, I would lose about $2,500 per month (based on comparable rents in my area, property management fees, etc).Both options loose the same amount by roughly 2 years, and by this time, I still will not have built up much more equity in the home to make selling it a break even unless there is price appreciation by then.My dilemma is this: I speculate that my home will not appreciate much in the next 3-5 years due to the rapid pace of development in the surrounding area.In 5-10+ years, maybe, but by then I'll have bled $150,000 - $300,000.I have thought about this a lot and feel that I mar'-too close to the problem to see the best solution.

@Stephen PattonStarting in real estate can feel overwhelming, but breaking it down step by step is key.
