Quote from @Chris Magistrado: Quote from @Jonathan Greene: I like the way you are thinking, but it's a little apple before the cart although you seem to get that you need experienced partners to make this work.

You want an investment that pays for itself, including mortgage, taxes, insurance, maintenance, and even some money set aside for a reserve to cover vacancies and capital expenditures.

I buy real estate but I carry debt which is actually tax deductible, my money works for me.

I'd make sure it would do well with long term in case you get sick of mid term and want to convert it to long term.    

I’m looking to make connections and to find deals in 2025!  

Long-term, new appliances save time, money, and frustration.

What I will say is I would make sure you ask them how much they will finance.

I've narrowed down the best return for my money in this market to a 2 bed/2 bath (with top tier amenities) - about 500 total 2/2 listings.I'm finding myself a bit stuck when analyzing why certain properties are making so much higher than the average listings when they seem to have very similar locations, amenities, style, flow of home, beds/# of people they sleep, reviews, number of reviews, etc.

You are LOSING money because you didn't even raise rents to cover those increases!

- Will lenders likely make me wait more than 1-6 months from closing on my multi-family, to approving lending for the second home?
