I have units without washer and dryer and they rent fine but I found myself showing to people who really wanted the washer dryer way too often so I do put that in the ad and review it again on talking to them.   

It’s definitely never too late to start, and learning by doing is often the best approach.

Of course it is always a balance between rate and occupancy.I probably will never do it , but often dreamed at one time about buying a small hotel. 

@Martti Eckert here's the big issue that no one really talks about that you hopefully find helpful (this is copy & pasted):-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------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 property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

The tenants are very stable, and I often forget that I own the property, which is what I want.

Multi-family properties often take longer to sell in my experience. 

They often won’t tell you about problems until it affects their wallet, and they’ll flat-out lie if it suits their needs.

It’s a great way to grow faster.HELOC or Equity Tapping: If you have equity in another property, using a HELOC or cash-out refinance could help cover the down payment without affecting your DTI as much.Seller Financing or Creative Deals: Look for sellers willing to finance directly, which bypasses traditional mortgage qualification hurdles.Scaling quickly often involves combining strategies—play around with what works best for your goals.

No one's perfect and honest mistakes happen and a PMC often needs guidance as to what level an owners wants to maintain their property.Wasn't trying to solicit your business,so I'll respond via DM about the rest of your questions:)

Brokers and attorneys often prioritize closing deals quickly to collect their fees and move on, which doesn’t always align with your goals.
