I imagine a lot split would also significantly increase cost of utilities as now I would have 3 hookups in that scenario.I am also concerned what would happen to that sweet 3.25% 30 year fixed mortgage I have, which I don't want to create any risk over in the slightest.Any advice on how to frame my counter arguments would be incredibly appreciated.

After all PITI, utility, and services (lawncare and cleaning) costs I have $7,225.I set aside 25% of this for my maintenance fund.The remainder funds my lifestyle, wife has a Tesla, and quarterly vacations as well as business growth.In 2023 I am tracking to build 4 duplex units designed as room rentals funded in part from a recent land sale.

Utilizing the years of experience from the people on the forums will allow me to talk intelligently with a realtor, the property manager, the seller, and so forth.  

I am estimating at least $50,000 between furnishing it and updating.How does this look:$1.3 million with 20% down DSCR loan buy-down the rate from 9% to 8% 30 year = $9,332 (principal/interest/tax).Utilities - $750Income - Was thinking $250 per day but let's say $225 per day for each unit (30 days) just looked at AirBNB and AirDNA in area = $13,500 (.20 vacancy) = $10,800.I would manage it, but still need to think of cleaning fees.

I then spent a majority of my free time learning as much as I could on the different styles and strategies that have been utilized in the past, reading everything from Lynch’s One Up on Wall Street to Graham’s Security Analysis, to learning how to build out financial models in excel.

I have an incentive of $25,000 for going with the builder-specific lender, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to utilize it.

If someone were to slip and fall or otherwise hurt themselves at one of my properties  due to a premises liability issue, the plaintiff's counsel will file a claim against the deed holder regardless of whether I am incorporated in PA as a single member LLC or through an entity structure utilizing LLC's from states that may have better privacy laws, the deed holder entity is layered or any of the other strategies often discussed in these forums. 

Let me know if you want to talk in details about more strategies to utilize your equity and congrats on this property!

In addition to above, consider utility entrances.

But, if you pay utilities, it might make sense to add a bit for the extra water / electricity.Personally, I would use this as an opportunity to tear up that 3 year lease.
