Huge commercial development is breaking ground out there.

It's another thing that's going to break and require maintenance, especially in rougher neighborhoods (where security is an issue).

Wife and I just purchased our first home, so its back to saving for my goal to break into long term REI. 

I would only do office if I had great break even occupancy.I do not like one or two tenants and if something happens they are gone and now I might have to throw money at the mortgage each month.

It is a common practice to use orders to break leases.

.$322.83/month Principle and InterestMonthly Cash Flow: $8.97I know This isn't a great cash flow deal, but I would essentially break-even until the property is paid off in 10 years if I held it as a rental.The other scenario, which I am leaning towards is to sell to an owner occupant with a wraparound mortgage.I could increase my cash-flow substantially, get a decent down payment, sell for a higher financed price, charge a much higher interest rate, and enjoy less management headaches.If I sold on a wrap I could sell for $39,900$5,000 down (tax refund time soon :)$34,900 amortized for 15 years @ 12.75% Interest = $435.84/month PIThis would allow me to make money on the front end ~$4,000 and make $133/month cash-flow.I could also play with the numbers a bit to make a higher IRR, but this seems like a doable scenario.Would you buy this?

Tenants would crack them or break them...they are impossible to fix. 

Thanks ever body super good info.  

My two cents is that it is somewhat ironic that the hardworking middle class voters who elected these government officials are indirectly being taxed because ultimately some of the added tax burden will be placed on their shoulders in the form of higher rents to cover higher tax bills.Also, are there any investors out there that feel like these increased taxes will help break the current market cycle?  

For the last couple of years I've been renting a 3 bedroom house with 2 others and it's time to break the cycle.
