Lower Repair CostsHiring licensed contractors for minor fixes can be costly.

In addition, due to them being eligible for conventional non-commercial financing they typically have lower cap rate than 5 units and more.  

Hopefully it'll be lower, but that where's my urban developers in a few other markets are seeing their numbers come in.

For an absentee landlord, it would seem that a condo could have less maintenance headaches than a SFH and lower risk in general. 

I had one investment in a syndication that would have been a total loss however the sponsor made good and repaid principal . so 3 year no return.. which is just fine by me personally I am not one who goes crazy if the return is lower or does not happen to me its principal i care about.. 

I went to every one of the 65 hearings myself and got 61 properties lower and 4 remaining the same. 

A lot of local banks tend to have 1-3 year intro periods of lower interest rates for HELOCs, check with some yours. 

I am doing my best to accommodate and fix the insulation as well as see if there are programs in place to lower the cost. however i want to be firm with tenant as they are not compliant with paying rent because of the cost of the utilities.

The price was lower than anyone else offered.

LTRs with long term conventional financing and standard management aren't really cash flowing anywhere right now. sure, there are lower cost markets that look better on paper, but there are costs associated with those supposedly cheap markets as well - deferred maintenance, more challenging tenant base, higher cost turnovers as a percentage of the rent.2. i wouldn't pick a random market thousands of miles away based solely on statistics or numbers.
