Our goal is to acquire a mixture of properties single-family and multifamily to buy  and hold

I'm looking to fix up my single family home and then sell it to move to another area.

Maybe buying a single family and renting rooms would be a better option for you.

It's going to cost you a lot more to replace a roof on a single-family home then what your condo association would charge you to put on a new roof.

Ross Ellington , if the sum of your mortgage interest, any points, and property taxes exceed $6,300 for single filer or $12,600 married filing joint or $9,300 for head of household THEN you would elect to itemize your deductions and lower your taxable income by the sum of interest, points and tax.

Currently own 3 rentals in South Boston (2 single Families and 1 Condo) and also own a two family in the Adams Corner Area of Dorchester. 

Cash flow can be inconsistent for one single residential property.  

According to to chart here, looks like still good time to invest in retail as not peaked yet.

Michael,I am planning to buy/hold.I only own one property my primary residence which is just a single family home.The value of my primary residence is 80k.Thanks for the response!

My crystal ball sees you in a single family home in a nice town in Westchester somewhere.
