And lastly, I search FunishedFinder listings nearby, find comparable properties, and track the listed rent for a few months (does it increase, decrease?).

When I have issues like this, I give the tenant a free membership to a nearby gym where they can shower.

I'm not in the same boat but I'm definitely paddling along nearby.

Make 20% increased payments for 2-3 years, stockpile your cash and after 2-3 years pay it down more if you really like. 

will you need to reframe so the height matches other door ways near by for asthetics? 

STR a suboptimal option in this market due to restrictive ordinances.Purchase price: $1,260,000 with 11% down @6.75% fixed 30 yrTotal Rehab costs (labor + materials) thus far: -$70,390Cashflow to date (NOT including Rehab Costs above): -$60,237Projected Cashflow: 3.1% with 3 LTR tenants Wanted the group’s expertise on options as I am considering parting ways with this property given the number of leaks that have come up in this relatively young property.1) In 2025, 1031 into another (potentially more units) multifamily at least 20 years old.2) Investigate leaks/Stabilize and proceed with original plan as LTR and accept uncertainty related to potential future leaks.3) Proceed as MTR (hospitals and NYC nearby) so that can intervene on issues during vacancy periods.

(However, the software is geared towards smaller companies)(There are specialized softwares that larger companies use).Quickbooks can handle the accounting for a small business who does flips.In my opinion, you likely need to take a class on QuickBooks to properly and efficiently use the software.There are likely some schools nearby that will teach you quickbooks.The alternative is to out-source it to someone who is focused on the real estate accounting space.Best of luck.

@Andrew Steffens, fair enough, but with a lower entry point, higher appreciation rates than most small cities (it has 100,000+ residents, which is not little), great MTR-LTR metrics, and nearby well-performing regional attractions, it has a lot of data pointing to it having a shot at success. 

I noticed the lack of nearby stores.

I also own another triple nearby to the neighborhood you're buying (im fairly certain I know the trip you're buying in the corner) and have done great with it.
