Paying to get in the right rooms can be game changing, but as you acknowledged you have to take it on yourself to make it worth your while.As for your question, it was pretty confusing.

It's hard to give an answer without knowing your tenants, how many of them there are, what amenities are in the area, and more.If you had 10+ tiny apartments, a game room or fitness area may be attractive.

Even a typical water heat replacement would set you back signficantly.There's plenty to the puzzle that i am unaware of but with what you've outlined here i would consider passing on the property.you know you need managementyou know you need to remove at least one tenantyou know cashflow is meager after considering management.i personally wouldn't recommend a client take on the risk for such a paltry pay out out of state.Even when considering long term appreciation the average amount of headache one assumes with a property will bog you down before the long term play pays off.

MTR is our play there.

Hello,A job relocation to San Francisco CA early this year is making me ponder if I should be selling my owner occupied duplex in Jersey City and buy something in Berkeley CA due to its proximity to San Francisco and has some fairly decent schools  for my kids and also UC Berkeley .The low  2.5% interest rate on the Jersey City property turned into a golden chain but I think I am done with managing tenants and property and would like to get more into an Equity play.

This property also plays a strategic role in the broader development project for the area, which includes 12 patio homes and two duplexes.

Play the long game but realize that maximizing long term net worth has to stop if you want to be financially independent.3.

It's a numbers game for certain so the more you see the quicker you'll be able to identify a good deal.

Immigration plays a big role in this, so it would be hard to predict unless you know what happens with population growth.I think it's still a basic human need, and one that the government can not provide at a reasonable cost.

As much as investors tend to complain about realtors, I'd strongly suggest that YOU need one since you sound very new to the game.
