Well not sure what you're thinking about with automation?

When we moved, we turned it into a rental, hoping this would be the start of our real estate journey—something we’d like to continue once my husband retires.Some key details:My husband is active duty and will retire in 3 years.We have one final move coming up this summer to Raleigh, NC.Our current debts are crippling us—the high interest makes it tough to stay afloat every month.The plan me and my husband are thinking bout:Sell the rental property.Use the proceeds to pay off all our debts, set aside emergency funds and a down payment for our next home.Free up $1,500/month from debt payments, and that also can stash in a high-yield savings account.Regain full VA loan entitlement, allowing us to purchase a multifamily home and use the house hacking strategy for up coming move.Avoid capital gains tax, since April marks five years of ownership, and the tenant’s lease ends in May.This wasn’t our original plan, and we hate the idea of using our equity to pay off debt.

Some go as far as saying that if you’re evicting frequently, something is broken upstream, either in underwriting, screening, or tenant relations.So here’s what I’d love to pick your brains on: Do you see eviction as a necessary cost of doing business, or do you think there are better ways to prevent it altogether?

@Jason Proulx I think your missing the entire math of things here. 

I think build to rent is a great option if you can get cheap enough land to make it worth it.

Similarly, if you put several Class D tenants in a Class A 4-plex, what do you think will happen to the property?

What do you think about this program?

Quote from @Camille Romero: Hey everyone, I’ve been thinking about buying my first real estate property and have a few markets in mind.

Hey Chad, I am thinking about turning a SFH into a duplex.

For a vacation rental, I could see people thinking they look dirty / streaky.
