Apartments are the least ideal living situation for us, so what if we got stuck in a multifamily property we intended to just be in for a short time.

.: Quote from @Chris Allen: Long story short, I am in a difficult situation with a property of mine and need to get rid of property.

Sure, I could look for a higher paying job, but I was wondering if anyone has any creative short-term methods to improve my ratio.

It's a short term lease.

I assume you got a better interest rate, and I know you are saving a boatload of interest. 3) imagine year 11-30 where you are cash flowing thousands with paid off properties instead of hundreds because of these lean 10 years. 4) hopefully you can raise rents at least $100 each every year and in 2 years your cash flow neutral even with preferred short term mortgage. 

My focus has been taking abandoned properties and renovating to rentals, both short and long term.

We have a primary home, short-term rentals as well as paper investments. 

Obviously, you want areas with short DOM.3.

This creates a market for both short-term and long-term rental properties.Affordable housing, Compared to cities like New York, Washington D.C., or Boston, Philadelphia offers relatively affordable rent, or section 8 tenants, especially those who are relocating from more expensive areas. 

I’ll try to keep this as short as possible but I am at a cross road in life here and can’t seem to find the guidance I need.
