Third you get better interest rates on a primary residence compared to an investment property.

A third response that doesn't answer the original question...

This is my first property and my third tenant (multifamily property). 

While it’s somewhat tedious, most third party data is a derivative of census figures.

Repairs and maintenance are performed following quarterly inspections, painting is done with tenants in place on a ongoing bases and unless I plan a major reno my units are rent ready. 

I have a single family with no mortgage but has a heloc. I also have a duplex with a conventional mortgage that I live in. I was talking to a lender about buying a four unit and he said I can’t use fha for it. He said...

I am looking to complete my third deal using the BRRRR method on the south side of Chicago.

There're markets that perform much better in terms of cash flow than NY.  

If you wanted better performance, you should have been more careful in your selection of property.The fact that your PM is spending the time to explain this to you tells me they're not just a rip-off company.

With our first rental performing, we capitalized on the low property values with a newer home in foreclosure.
