The "pro" move would be to pull equity out of your existing unit, with the lowest rate cash out ARM you can find, so the property becomes cash-flow neutral and use the equity to buy another property in an appreciating market.

One of the best ways to negotiate is to send a neutral person to talk to the tenant.

Has anyone in the Salt Lake area had luck with creating a cash flowing or even cash neutral house-hack?

There are various types of odor eliminators available in the market, such as sprays, powders, and air purifiers, which could help neutralize the smell.Replace Damaged Items: If any carpets, rugs, or furniture have been damaged beyond repair due to the dog urine, you may need to consider replacing them.

Hey Account Closed , yes at 6 months the market is neutral.

Always insist that all payment be made through a neutral party like escrow or a closing attorney at time of closing.It can't be repeated enough; the best way to protect yourself is not to send personal info to strangers and never send money up-front.You used some common sense by asking, Adrian. 

You should be able to find initial cashflow neutral deals in your area or slightly negative but as rents go up year over year that will take care of it.
