My understanding is that the market is more important than the property.

Just trying to understand what is practical applying the same to a large RV or boat

That way, you have clear evidence if there’s ever a dispute.The the PM open to you talking to the cleaners so you can understand the scope of the job?

i understand a true duplex might be a lot more expensive, but i think it's at least worth continuing to research and keeping an eye on.and sticking to my original point, OOS can be tough. 

@Adam Newman yeah, not understanding your statements, "I have $50k plus about 7k in the bank" and "take out a loan and go in with 20% from the start?".

I was just hoping to transition it into LTR and since we have newer furniture that fits the space well, it just seemed a shame to sell it all to do an unfurnished LTR, but again, I'm having a hard time understanding how logistically some of the details are worked out with that with furniture involved in an LTR.Thank you again for the support!

Quote from @John Davey: Id appreciate any help, as ex. if i take out say 100k home equity loan and use 50k each as down payments/cloing costs my understanding is i cant deduct the interest?

I understand the cost concern.

@David F.As Russell mentioned co-ops are probably 1/2 the price of a condo and you would also have extensive costs to set up a co-op and typically it’s my understanding the builder funds the first 1-2 years of reserves.

I can understand you wanting to keep a cash flow negative property.
