But personally, sometimes the best strategy is protecting what you've built rather than pushing for more.

The engineer should be able to advise on the best lot line outcome, especially if there are physical circumstances to consider, such as wetlands.

I agree that the best way to make money is self manage your short term rental (not AirBNB, that is a platform).

@Jay Fayz for SFR (1-4 family) Classifications are mostly opinion-based.Not aware of anyone tracking eviction rates, except Evictions Lab nonprofit that doesn't like landlords.Here's some info that might helpt:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------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?

Yes that’s why I want to hold onto it is obviously because of the rate. 

@Adedotun Kembi Most lenders will only lend a total of 65-75% on a rental and at much higher interest rates due to the higher risk.

Do the numbers make sense with each and all interest rates? 

@Zach Howard there is no agreed upon Classification in the 1-4 unit market.We've done our best to logically create a system for our market, mostly based upon relative sale prices, but also using crime rates, rents, occupant income and a few other variables. 

First pro is you learn how to be a landlord and to manage properties and this is the best way to get started into real estate investing.

Best option would be to separately meter the property 2.
