Every property will vary of course, but are these in the ballpark of what you all are seeing for 4plexes???  

Terms for commercial vary but they usually include shorter amortization periods like 20 years and loan term for 5 to 10.

Definitely varies for sure, which is good!

One thing about Troy and Schenectady, beware of taxes, and beware of the block you're looking into, both those cities have some beautiful downtown areas, yet one or two blocks away are gang shootings and crackhouses, so definitely look at street-level comps, doing the standard comp within 1/2 mile can give you hugely varying property values.  

It's varied WILDLY from month to month when I had managers.

We start at about $500 for a full home stage (price varies by size of home) and wWe offer month-by-month staging so no minimum 90 days.

Anything in real estate so much depends on the location, the type assets, surrounding amenities and what you expect it to do for you.I use Lockstate remote WiFi locks because they are currently the best and solve all the problems a modern smart-lock needs to accomplish: getting the right people through the door at the right times without me having to be there.I run and experiment with various Airbnb solutions:Manage villas for clients in TuscanyHost a turn of the century restored 6 room apartment in a quaint German city near the beach.Manage varying types of other apartments, condos, and houses in various locations in the USA and Europe.Keep in mind when dreaming of the "big bucks", it takes time to:Set up and maintain your Airbnb and various other accounts.Set up each new listing.Communicate with nice and not so nice guests.Factor in vacancies and damages.Outsource and manage cleaning and fixing team.Your dwelling needs to make at least the same income compared to the long-term rental if you're only looking to grow equity.

If this is the case, your bordering on a few different neighborhoods which all carry varying unique factors to contend with.

And if you can, ask the tenant to just do something inside, along the windows, for example, because if your condo association  is anything like the three where I was on the board, you may get a letter about this if they find out and it is not allowed...they probably vary on decorations, and some are likely strict on outdoor decorations, others more lenient, and some may not act unless it is brought to their attention (like asking for a working gfci outlet for it)....

People vary widely on what they consider a good ROI as there are other factors to consider such as appreciation, your personal goals and how you are using property to achieve certain goals.
