You want the property to sustain it self w/ positive cash flowI have my first property under contract and I have analyzed 20-30 properties and most of them suck.

And subprime lending is making a come back.I don't believe you can achieve sustainable price increases with near-zero income growth.

Previous PM was adamant that the rents would not sustain an increase so rent was stagnant for most of this time.

Obviously, doing it all myself will only be long-term sustainable if I can BRRRR out the cash  (this brings up a question that I'll ask in a new post).  

/ Can your properties sustain the higher financing costs?

@Sean Dargie my husband and I have one STR in Panama City Beach that sustained damage during Hurricane Michael.

The Employee agrees to pay any and all reasonable attorney fees sustained by the Employer in connection with any breach of this Agreement.XII.

I had no way of knowing a) when the trend would take off, b) how sustainable it would be and c) what to do with the building in the meantime.I invest almost elusively in Class C "cash cow" SFH residential property because it pays for itself both now and into the future. 

However, absent any economic shock, we can sustain the economic fundamentals because all economic actors are operating on borrowed money.In a simple way, you can think of it like a ponzi scheme, but that is the nature of a debt-centric economy with fiat currency.

Your best chance is a 4 plex, income you'll get from the other 3 units will come into play I believe, it is called self sustaining or whatever.
