Holding onto a property merely for tax considerations is a dangerous gamble.

It is a longer play, and you need to perform when they send you a deal.

Play around on Airdna or price labs to see what a private room would get per month, you can use this as a ballpark number to gage what you should rent for. 

We'll have to see how this plays out.

. ** (when i respond it is not just for the original poster but others that learn from lurking)Not only are they not typical results, the year the property was bought and the method used to purchase play a huge role.

Major value add play with outdated units.

The syndicator quality and experience comes into play during bear markets…as you then see who’s swimming naked when the tide goes out.But market cycle overrides everything imo.

I view this as a gambling puzzle.

I would look more at the build out of the short term play.

I think cash flow is hard with current property prices, so it’s mostly an appreciation play for me.
