In the process of trying to do a full cash out refi right now into long term non-recourse debt.

We are currently lowering some of our tenants rents because rents a rapidly decreasing.

I'm working on an quad project right now that needs work, but will be a good long term hold.

So long as your lease supports it, bill them for the repairs. 

We are already not super fond of VRBO because of the way the have us manage rentals from property managers.

She is even willing to purchase in a year If we are interested in selling.

The longer lease, assuming strong credit tenant, means you will have a secured income for a long time.  

Putting this on your taxes will help you in the long run.5.

Also, check the amenities available, that will run the HOA dues too.Location-wise, check whatever will be easier to rent in the long run.Also, depending on how you're comfortable with sharing your apartment, 2 bed could be a great house-hack.

Most of my people are long term now but I still have to fill a new room every couple of months on average.
