But of course, I goaded him into giving it a shot and it worked with no debate from the tenant.TL;DR: $25/mo + $250 deposit is what I do, but depends on your area.

I know mortgage one is negative cash flowing because it wasn't purchased right I've debated selling it but it has a 20 year mortgage so I can't decide. 

My client is debated between buying a 2+2 and renting one of the room or buying a 1+1.My take is that the price difference is too thin to justify the difference in utility and versatility.

My wife and I have finally saved up enough to start to look into real estate investing and we are debating between an STR in a destination market (think Breckenridge, Tahoe, etc. - likely one 2BR/2BA or 3BR/2BA unit) or longer term rentals in a growing market (think suburbs of Austin, Nashville, etc. - likely two 3BR/2BA units).Both would be managed remotely, though we have a lot of family in the potential STR market (retired parent who could help) and we could use the STR unit ourselves for 1-2 weeks per year.

DC had legislation that was due to be brought up for debate this month, but the council member who was working on it was voted out.....but there is a new council member taking up the issue.

@Carrianne Mucho  we get into some good debates about CA appreciation and mid west cash flow LOL.... being on the lending side of the business for all these years.. it is hard for folks to understand why they cant get this little mortages IE 25 to 50k or really almost anything under 100k.for the mortage lender its a loser.. and now with maximum fee's that can be charged on some mortgages its frankly just a loser.people want to equate mortgage lending to POints and yield spread.. well there is no secondary market per say for these little nonowner occ investor mortgages so their is no yield spread so an LO is going to run a file for 2 points on a 30k loan  that's 600 bucks that's working for less than minimum wage.

@Jason Bibrey I'm looking at 1-4 unit, debating on property management, and solo for now.

I’m still debating on doing an LLC since it is my first property.

I’ve learned so much by reading the friendly debates of different POV’s in this thread.

The ADU is not permitted, and I'm debating if its even worth it.
