I'm admittedly being impatient in wanting to buy soon and my realtor is *gently* suggesting that in this seller's market with limited multi-unit inventory (and esp. in my city where we're expecting an appreciation boom), my cash flow calculation should be income vs. mortgage/taxes/insurance/property manager only (without factoring in the "savings expenses" i.e., repair/vacancy/CapEx). 

Just wondering if there's another option in real estate for me right now.Please be gentle with me.

Instead of gently increasing it $30 per year, they let the tenant get far behind market.

Oddly enough permanent makeup, massage therapy, CPAs, and a few other businesses are often clumped in with Dental offices.Would having an Ortho company in a neighboring space be a boon for your business or a detractor?

But at times, without proper due diligence (which it seems as though you are doing so this doesn't apply to you), a "bargain" steep view lot can turn into something more expensive than a premier gently sloping view lot and more headache/risk as well.

I would never stay in a hotel again except for a couple things.....1) There are no STRs in the area where I want to stay 2) The hotel may have a pool/spa when I'm traveling to a hot area 3) I want a luxury resort type of stay with swim up bars, massages, etc...I travel almost monthly and I find that STRs are still less expensive than hotels.....getting closer to even , but still less expensive...but you still get so much more....a kitchen for sure, close private parking, maybe a yard....as more people realize the inherent advantages of STRs, I think they will become even more popular.....

I'll take your advice though and see what I can find out, thank you for your time, and the gentle kick in the butt. 

Massage parlor vs massage therapist?

However, he would like to do "Body Work" or what I assume to be massage or some sort of physical therapy out of our house.

Newbie here please be gentle.
