But in real estate there are a lot of random variables that happen throughout the process so get prepared to roll with the punches.

Obviously, there can be alot of variables there, but just curious input on which may be recommended way to go.  

Short term rentals can be lucrative but come with higher variability and management needs.My Take:It might be beneficial to consider a mixed approach—drop the rent slightly under market value to secure a tenant and stabilize your cash flow, while simultaneously exploring the short term rental market.

Typically pref can be from 6 to 8 depending on variables with the center.

Here, a Co-Op marketed an "Investment Program" of notes paid at variable interest rates on demand after a lock-out period. 

I personally wouldn't recommend condos because you don't have a lot of control over the HOA, which is an unknown variable in terms of cost.

A lot of variables.

I think SFH versus multi unit has a lot of variables at play as to which is better.

I recommend you do this annually to adjust for utility increases and other variables.

If you live in warmer places this probably isn’tAn issue as much but I’m done with the variable factor of tenants putting the heat on 80 degrees and then leaving windows open when it’s -25 out.
