Do you understand how to budget for maintenance, capital expenses, and vacancy/turnover?

This can be risky, especially if vacancies or unexpected expenses arise.

Such as extended periods of vacancy between semesters...I have a MTR that is close to a university campus and my current tenants are students, but they also passed all the usual tenant screening in the same way that I've rented to other mid-term tenants in the past.

Review Monthly Cash Flow StatementAt the end of each month, review your income, subtract all expenses, and calculate your net cash flow.Look for trends and identify any changes that could impact cash flow, like an increase in maintenance costs or vacancies.5.

Can you afford the downpayment, brrr costs, keep money in the deal and have sufficient reserves for both properties(i.e 2 years of vacancy/lead times, 75-100% of capex, 3-6 months of random ********?

I'm talking 2023-fwd, you may have done 11 in the last year but you're rates are high and you're vulnerable to any vacancy or capex.

>East Bay rents dipped slightly but are expected to rise 3%-4% as vacancy decreases.

The rental vacancy rate in Decatur is barely over 4%...not a bad number. 

Right now, there is probably very little cash flow, after operating expenses and vacancy.

Vacancy/turnover is VERY expensive for a landlord.
