If the city ever wants to add sidewalks or run utilities underground, those homeowners will be out of luck.PS: I have never seen a juridisction pay to remove items in an easement or compensated owners for performing work in an easement.

I can probably point to a 2-4 unit that performed better than a single family, and I can point to a my own single families that performed better than my duplex.  

As the legally required small print in the offering of financial products reads: "Past performance is no guarantee of future performance".

We will continue to observe the performance of this property and eventually will build a second house next to it.

Number makes sense on paper but let's see how we perform at the beginning of next year. 

We've got a few homes near campus we use as student rentals and they certainly perform well.

Based on the user research we've seen most use cash flow as a proxy for performance.

Finding the right price does not associate with market stability or future performance assumptions.

Since I work from home I think house hacking would suit me since I can live on the property and perform some of the easier maintenance tasks myself.

There are absolutely areas where you can beat a 10% cap rate - I see it all the time - you just need to know where to look and what types of properties perform best.Some areas I would check out include Bailey, Arvada, Westminster, unincorporated Adams County, and many more I could point you to beyond that.
