@Cyndi Lees,It sounds like you have a good problem with a number of choices. 

However, looks like there is a harsh line as far as what locals can afford and if you go over that, vacancy is high.Watertown, NY- I’ve seen many great multi-family properties in the low to mid 100s.

This is especially crucial in urban environments where every inch counts.Enhancing Market AppealIncorporating elements that attract tenants—like natural light, flexible layouts, and sustainability features—can significantly increase a property's desirability.

The cleanout is about 10-15 feet from the curb, but they had to snake 70 feet, suggesting a potential city sewer issue.The plumber mentioned that if I report this to the city, they will likely request a secondary cleanout closer to the curb, which I would have to install at my expense (a costly job).

I’m just concerned of legality of basement unit and like you mentioned permitted status.

Insurance companies are always looking for MTR that are furnished like ours  never stays vacant more than a week.

Really appreciate you sharing your experience, sounds like a solid deal with a great profit margin, especially considering you did 90% of the work yourself.

It sounds like you’ve got a solid foundation with your rental property, and I love the ambition behind your plans to build a property management and maintenance company—it’s a great way to take control of your investments while creating additional opportunities.Best of luck to you! 

I really like the multiple income streams from one property.

I hope you don't like this family member.
