Hi @Matt D'Arco, why not have your cake and eat it too?

Is it icing on the cake since the tenants will pay down your mortgage?

Personally I would say no thank you but then again I don’t like partners I want the entire cake to myself Never saw the point of having a partner take a share when I can just pay whoever I want to do what ever work and go away Or get a loan, pay a low interest rate and deduct it from income taxes   VS giving a partner a share for just providing the money 

Cash flow positive is just the icing on the cake but not the metric in investment grade property purchases.   

I am tracking my returns based on cash flow numbers only (for conservatism reasons - I look at appreciation as icing on the cake).A little background:The underperforming units are all part of a small multifamily compound in a lower income neighborhood that I purchased in 2018 that looked great “on paper” but after tracking their performance for a few years, experienced less than expected returns due to one issue or another that has cropped up (more capex up front, tenant that I couldn’t evict for 10 months through covid, multiple vacancies causing turnover costs).

I guess I want my cake and….

If you look it up it says there are currently 780 STR permits that have been issued in this area alone so seems like you're going to be doing some fighting to get a piece of your cake if you invest here. 

In our area, town of about 10K, things are selling like hot cakes and for good money.

@Rasean Lowe if you find a great deal finding a buyer should be a piece of cake.

Buy property if you can get it to cash flow now and if rents go up it's your icing on the cake.
