Do not go ahead without a reserve.   

I'm trying to think ahead to having many STRs.Thank you! 

Rather than double-clicking to open the zip file, could you right click and select "Extract all"?

Then the flip side, which would be going ahead and coming out of pocket for it.

If you're flexible in living on the West side, you can get ahead extremely fast by house hacking and doing live in flips there. 

I thought I would hop on here and plug in the numbers in rental calculator but it is stuck and won't move when I click on calculate results.

Your strategy will help you determine the way ahead on this one.Is it 10 duplexes scattered over town?

It's now the most clicked page of the site and the video has a nearly 100% watch through rate.

I am going to forge ahead even though I am scared to death, even more anxiety about the economy (more if renters are going to be able to pay rent once I get a multi-family property)....but, it isn't going to get much cheaper to invest.  

I tend to think I should go ahead and purchase the property but almost everyone I talk to (Mostly Not Investors) say that they would wait to purchase because prices will drop.
