Maybe its better to pay the tax and put the remaining cash in a high interest yielding account.

It trades with way tighter bands.Pre-covid was high 600s, right now it's high 700s.

I have a duplex with MTR and LTR and it performs at almost 50% COCROI.

Personal preference though  Do you think 7mm is too high for a rental?

Paying all cash usually means high risk, high rewards if handled properly. 

It may make sense to sell before high maintenance costs if you realize good appreciation, but that doesn’t seem to be the case in your situation.

My laptop stays at the office during the week other wise I would never sleep lol

One thing we have done was to offer amenities that carry high value in the area and build these costs into our rental agreement.

After 12 months expire I would have them sign "my lease" (which would be very similar terms as original + additional nuggets of terms I've picked up over time, like inspections - current manager performs no periodic inspections).  

While multi family and new built luxury high rises might be going down it does not appear to affect more desirable properties that offer more space, amenities, better locations.I am in South East in a desirable area.What is your take on rental outlook?
