I recognize that the cost benefit may be negated by other challenges; hence, my question.

Sorry to be so negative, just wanted to point out some of the drawbacks of what you are proposing, I hope it is at least a little helpful.

That area is desirable and will most likely have negative cash flow for a while.

To clarify, I had initially put the property under contract but had to back out of the deal due to negative inspection results, specifically related to foundation issues.

Although solar is a fun idea and a cool concept, it has yet to really be 'figured out'.

Being unauthentic is one of my largest negatives.

This gets my mortgage payment barely at break even for LTR value, (could be negative cash flowing), and lowers to about a 6% CoC (with down payment, renov and furnishings' costs)About 1.5 pt lower than my goal and with an MAO $10K higher than I wanted.b.

Some strategies to lessen the negative cash flow are: house hack and rent out the other unit as a mid-term rental (to traveling professionals or for people temporarily displaced because of insurance reasons like fire) or short-term rental (business or vacation).

I think the concept is fascinating, and that it's in just the beginning stages, but here to stay.

All were going to be either cash flow neutral or negative cash flow.
