-So currently own 7 units in central MA area, soon to be more after my next refinance in 2 months.- Now helping other investors achieve their goals, whether you are brand new or a well seasoned investor.How I Can Help: -Connecting investors with trusted contractors, lenders, attorneys, property managers etc.

And thats why those units are still seeing reasonable growth even after covid. 

But then they can raise the rent just $10 per unit per month and create another $600,000 in value across both theirs and the ones we sold.  

They don't care about the 20 year old HVAC unit or a 10 year old roof.

Quote from @Gregory Wilson:As for the second, there are only about 20 monetary numbers to be entered in Turbo Tax on a single unit rental property 1065 so it always seems to me that the $3500 would be better spent elsewhere.

Investment Info:Large multi-family (5+ units) commercial investment investment.

Duplexes are a little easier than 3-4 units with FHA since they don't have to meet self-sufficiency requirements.

Purchase price: $645,000 Cash invested: $516,000 80% cash purchase.2,437 sq ft Duplex, with 3b 2b for the front unit (1331), 4b 2b for the back unit (1333).   

Seems to me there is only upside for them but no share in any downside if the unit is not leased to short term stay occupants.

I am new to the world of real estate investing and want to one day own properties and rent units out.
