I asked in your previous post what town because local rent control laws could impact the outcome.

A large employer can announce layoffs that impact demand which pushes prices lower.

@Dave DeMarco thanks for the advice, so I guess I still am partially confused on the difference between the HELOC & Refinance that it would impact your ability to purchase 3 additional homes via HELOC.

The State Insurance laws can impact what the Association has to insure and what you have to coverage (ie. walls, interior wiring or plumbing, fixtures, etc.). 

Aside from the resale consideration, what will the impact of the location be on maintaining high occupancy with good tenants?

The site only says that the borrower must "Occupy the SONYMA-financed home as their permanent residence."

A general solution to this is to have a mixed portfolio with unleveraged properties to cover those excess expenses.Also consider the quality of the neighborhood you invested in, because if it is poor, you may have permanent costs associated with vacancy, etc.

:)I'm currently researching multi family properties and was wondering how rent, and other expenses were calculated/ impacted on properties with included office space, parking lot, etc.

A BP user also mentioned "Impact Theory" on youtube and I have been enjoying that as well, which leads me to ask ya'll:How do you stay motivated (positive, hyped, excited etc) about, well, life? 

If you buy right, a housing crash only impacts properties not bought correctly.
