I like the SFHs because they are easier to manage from the perspective that the tenants are in charge of snow removal and lawn maintenance.

As you know, marketing and price are both very important, and vacancy will significantly impact your income, so you are almost always better off charging a lower price and getting it filled with a good tenant.  

I'll keep it fully furnished, so I can potentially charge more, especially since it’s also near a major hospital in Astoria and close to LGA.Do you think this plan is feasible?

Sometimes when examining the entire capital stack, its determined the higher finance charges paired with higher leverage is a winning proposition but only experienced real estate investors should be making that call.

Hi Becca,PM charges 8% and I tried protesting taxes, didn't work.As far as renting rooms,that is something I'd consider if the current tenants move out.They've been reliable for many years and I wouldn't feel good about asking them to leave. 

But be wary, there are expensive accountants out there that try to overly charge clients due to their knowledge.

For each property listed through a Section 8 website, over 100 requests for application are received within the first couple of hours.
