Each unit is $725.

The biggest thing with this is if something major happens are you legally covered if the unit is illegally rented. 

McKinney and Princeton have been growing a lot and it is a good place to invest, but it is always related to what you are looking to achieve in a rental investment, appreciation or cash flow.At this time that area does not offer a big cash flow and due to the amount of development going on there, rental demand has declined a bit.In any case you have to make an analysis case by case.

People tend to waste a lot when everythings included, so this helps to avoid that problem.There are also companies out there that can install a meter in lieu of doing a full submeter to ascertain how much usage the unit is using monthly.

For context, before I learned about his 6 unit I was planning to purchase a 2-3 unit long term rental in Q1 2025 as my first of many deals with a 5 year goal of financial freedom so I can coach my daughter's high school cross country and track teams.

I have no doubt you’ll continue to achieve great success in your investment journey.

First off, pardon me if I misunderstand things given the limited amount of information I have, but there are 2 things right off the bat just from your description that could be contributing to your issue: 1) a 2nd floor unit - I had a similar setup for a duplex I owned in St.

Did you feel like using a property management company could help you achieve the goals you had for your investment property? 

Granted once I rent out the unit I leave, after vacancy and everything we would cash flow almost 400(minus heloc as well)All the deals I find.

Since the price of a multi unit is double or sometimes 3x the price of a single family home, would it be smart to start off with a SFH and scale up from there or just make the leap into a duplex that I can force some appreciation with minor repairs.
