If your rent would be somewhere closer to 1% of the replacement value, the long term capex picture would look differently, but that's obviously not realistic in the Walker Square area.I know this is not what you want to hear, but case in point at one of our workshops I had an investor who has owned a sizeable D-class portfolio for almost 40 years, self-managed, self-repaired, re-leveraged to pay for capex - and he said he has basically nothing to show for in terms of retirement, so he has to keep working it.Food for thought.

What are some of the considerations or pitfalls to this strategy where we would start renting a single family residence out, then convert to our primary residence after ~5 years.

My company is in the process of rehabbing our 1st property and, while I could write about all of the frustrations associated with it, I thought it would be best to have a blog that was upbeat.
