I do not believe converting to condos would decontrol the building.I own a 4-unit multifamily in Union City and am considering condo converting it at some point in the future, though I do not think rent decontrol would be among the potential benefits of the conversion.

Great advice; with that said, the notice I gave her did allow for a 30 day period before a new lease would potentially take affect with a price increase.

The rate will be higher (typically 1% to 1-1/2% higher) but you will be able to sell, refinance, or payoff the loan without  having to worry about paying what could potentially be thousands of dollars in a pre-payment penalty. 

Demand for February/March move-ins should see a notable uptick sometime in January, but you'll for sure see your strongest rental demand in late spring/summer.Your most recent post mentioned that you were going to look for someone for a 6-month lease - I think this is a great way to approach it to minimize vacancy loss while biding your time until we get into the higher demand summer months.Getting creative with your lease term and credits/concessions could also be a good way to solve a few potential problems in one shot. 

I am afraid we will fall for a property with a false sense of a good deal.Are there any suggestions to help me run an analysis that would better account for the larger down payment and allow me to better analyze potential properties in the future.

We're still seeing positive cash flowing deals here and lots of potential for appreciation.

My strategist explained possible implications could be (1) longer initial vacancy (~60 days), and (2) potential for PM team to not perform well (as there was not yet a proven track record of their work with RTR).After much discussion, we pivoted to a townhouse in Dundee, FL.

However, since you’re switching to a commercial loan, this may not apply—check with your lender for specifics.Be aware of closing costs and potential prepayment penalties tied to your FHA loan. 

Branson’s ongoing development also offers strong potential for appreciation.

The current use of the property as a two-family dwelling significantly impacts its value and marketability, which is distinct from single-family homes.The initial appraisal comparing your property to single-family homes is likely an oversight, as multifamily properties are evaluated differently due to factors like rental income potential and investor interest.
