I've also leveraged that capability to build some pretty cool dashboard on my end to occupancy, revenue, and cancellation rates across all platforms. 

Yes, as I'm doing more research, I'm finding that I would prefer to invest in markets that I know personally, so as not to rely on external variables completely.

Maybe half upfront and reduce the rate of interest on the balance..

Thought about refinancing at the time, but didn't do it before rates exploded.

Living in one unit and renting out the others allows you to deduct 75% of expenses like mortgage interest, property taxes, insurance, and shared repairs as rental expenses, while the remaining 25% applies to personal use.

Quote from @Nicholas Dillon: I read somewhere that you can request to have your mortgage insurance dropped once your Loan to Value reaches 80%.

Coupled with persistently high interest rates that may last for years, rising insurance premiums are inevitable, regardless of your property’s condition.

They do not want the other person's name on the deed or the mortgage once the dirvorce is finalized.   

MUCHHHH better and of course that leaves us with plenty of room to pay the mortgage payment so the lender is happy.Btw, I just wrote the Co-Living book for BP that comes out in Spring, you can sign up for it here!

My biggest conundrum now is I want to be my own GC because even when I play with smaller numbers they’re still out of reach for me to be able to attain this goal and afford the monthly mortgage with taxes and insurance.
