Hello,I am a real estate investor located to Southeast MA, I own and manage a small portfolio of 23 units and am looking to expand and scale out of state as the returns and market have been quite difficult in my area:...

For example, this can be adding square footage, adding an extra unit, or adding a pool in a STR market/luxury market.  

It took a bit to wrap my head around there being luxury homes intermingled with 5th wheels next door, etc., but their lots were like parks.

My specialty as an example is working with investors looking to build portfolios of Short Term Rental/ luxury vacation properties all across the US.  90% of my clients use the 10% down second home occupancy loan.  

I’ve been in this unit for almost a year now and I’m thinking about moving out and renting an apartment for $1000 a month all utilities included.

Here in mid-west flyover country, rents are still creeping up and almost all the development has been luxury rentals (mostly by Redwood).

Is this a 2 bedroom apartment that is currently being leased (in the eyes of the CHA) as a 1 bedroom apartment?

I found an apartment for sale with an assumable loan.

Quote from @Andrew Self: Previous apartment.

A typical five-piece surround is held together with glue and caulk, and without maintenance, it will fall apart and just cause you more problems.Instead, go ahead with a two-piece surround or even a tile surround.
