If you had also spend money on renovations and improvements while occupying those should have gone into service then as well. 

Any advice would be helpful.

There is lots of information on how to analyze publicly traded REITs as well.

In NY, NJ, CT, PA, MA the security deposit is regulated, as well as how much you can collect at lease signing. 

Every time i make a post on here I am getting great feedback so minus well keep posting lol.

You might be better off finding a long term tenant for the time being.

However, there is a specific deal Which I find hard to understand the ARV for.It is a Single Family Home, 2 Bedroom 1 Bathroom, 850 SQFT.These two comps have a price gap I find hard to understand, even when considering the difference in renovation level.If anyone knows this market well enough to understand the cause of this difference, and if it might be due to an issue with the location, or if there is anything I am missing.Comp 1 - 1011 Elm Street, Burlington, NC, 27217 (120K)Comp 2 - 1109 Walnut Street, Burlington, NC, 27217 (120K)Comp 3 - 1505 N Park Ave, Burlington, NC, 27217 (180K)Thank you!

It would be great to have something like that.  

I am a new investor looking for primarily multi-family properties with 2-4 units; would be willing to house hack as well depending on the opportunity. 

Explore insurance options as well!
