Collected first rent and everything going smoothly so far.

The property features two 1,400 sq ft suites on the main level (one currently leased) and over 3,000 sq ft on the upper level, with 750 sq ft already occupied, 3 small office spaces (+/- 250 sq ft each), and a basement tenant with 1,400 sq ft of storage space.The building generates $6,000 in monthly gross income from its five tenants, but with full occupancy and market-rate rents, it has the potential to bring in $10,000+ per month.Given its historical significance, stunning architectural details, and location, I’m curious about your opinion: Would this property be more marketable for sale with or without the current tenants?

I'd like to rent it as much as possible and leave a few weeks during the year to stay there with family. 

If you found the ideal property for this type of niche, what would be your first step in seeking out a business operator who would rent the property from you for any of the above purposes?

I'm 23 years old and plan to use real estate for my retirement, but that's in the distant future.My question is whether it's better to pay off the mortgage as quickly as possible or to buy a rental property as soon as possible.My thoughts are that if I pay off my home, I'll have security and more money each month to invest, as I won't have to make mortgage or rent payments.

Rented it from September 1st 2018 + and has been a great rental ever since.

:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

This would be a sweetened deal if they plan to rent for a while in the place they are PCS'ing to.

As part of this transition, I’m looking to dive into the BRRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) strategy to build a portfolio of investment properties, and I’d love to get some advice and insights from those of you who are familiar with the area!

After 4 years of paying landlords rent, I would like to start in investment real estate.
