That highly depends on your pay structure.

No matter where you choose to invest, please keep in mind the following (copy & paste):--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

My recommendation is that you make it a tenant responsibility in the written lease, then send reminders every 3-6 months, depending on the schedule.

I have 2 good friend RE agents available if need be but I think this might be a "transfer of loan deal" just depends.

Depends if you are worth millions already than 40k is like 1k but likely do not need their course.

You can also just buy it as an investment property with 25% down if you have the capital to put that much down on a 1-1.3 million 4plex depending on the area.

Whether that is worth the $99 really depends on if you think it’s or is not

How much lower depends on what time of year the home was completed- Usually can charge a much higher rent for new homes.
