And I find many tenants in this class level really connect with it if there an ideal tenant.

My goal is to continue to buy 3-4 condos like this one and use the snowball strategy to pay off these condos quickly so I can build up my passive income(ideally $20k+ a year from 1 paid off condo).

I refuse to play under these anti-landlord conditions.

Ideally your cleaner should have enough other work so that doing your property is available in their schedule but not required for them to pay their bills.

Ideally it should still cash flow solidly but may not appreciate quite as rapidly as the bigger market.

Role-playing.     . you paid $300k 10 years ago, it’s worth $660k, (so when you sell you net $600k to make math easy.)and your cpa determined that you owned zero land, so it’s all depreciatable. you owe 15% on the $300k gain plus 25% tax on $109k depreciation recapture, so you owe $70k in federal taxes, then California reaches out for another $30k?  

I do think house hacking and small multifamily are the best plays at the moment. 

That can play a big part when issuing terms. 

It looks like R-25 Batts would be ideal being 8" thick to fill the space however R-25 is not readily available from what I can tell.

The specific assistance organization, the screening of the tenant, the property, and the PM company that should be communicating with the tenant all play a role in the success of your investment in regards to tenants.
