Should effort be placed in a baseline business plan to determine the best option to start in for this field?

If we buy in 25 we could rent it out to others first bc theya re required to stay in a dorm the first year.

Once that phase is complete, I’d transition back into long-term holds.As for the cash-out refi, without at least doubling the rent, I’d be in a net-negative position each month, which doesn’t seem like a worthwhile trade-off.On the tenant side, I agree with your point about the business aspect—it’s something I’m working on coming to terms with.

Hello,I have invested in a few properties meant for long-term renting.I have also since started a rental property management company that operates in areas we know very well (ascendiadynamics.com)Porto and Lisbon are very expensive areas at the moment. 

Almost never to never in a million years if it's being auctioned.

Im noticing investors are very different and each have different criteria for what they are looking for in a flip.

Does buying all cash not make your return lower than just sticking it in a S&P index fund?  

@Kevin Akers,You’re in a great position to leverage your equity!

You may pay 1.5m and up for a good one, likely more if parking and balconies, but the play is to buy a multi and then wait and in a few years, turn them into condos and sell them separately - that's how you make the money there.

It is coming to market in our off season, should we wait closer to our peak season to release it so that we have the best chance for the most bookings in a short time frame?
