Starting rent-free is a smart move—it’ll maximize cash flow but high purchase price and a low down payment make it challenging.

I would like to install all wood cabinets as this house will hopefully sell in the low $200K's after renovation. 

I’m considering purchasing five units in an eight-unit light industrial property structured as a condominium.

Also AirBNB stocking fees, maintenance, cap ex.But at the same token know that the principal portion of your mortgage payment is actually not a true expense so there is that benefit to doing all of this even if you are light on the cash flow or break even.  

I dont believe there is any kind of HOA or ruling organization for these group of houses but it has me concerned that if one day they all decide they want to repave the driveway or add lighting or something along those lines, they would try and make everyone chip in and pay their fair share. 

Even if it isn't a perfect match it will be fine as the light hits walls differently.

In the off cases of 10-15% of our FTHB'ers they'll end up proceeding with the DPA low to no down programs.Hope that helps.

Throw in the fact that properties over the next few years most likely will have very low to zero appreciation and they probably do not get you a net of $6k a month even if you considered the principal payments you are paying down and lending right now is a far better situation to be in than owning property - just as the opposite was several years ago during very low rates and high home appreciation. 

Got to take the lows with the highs.
