I am thinking another option to take advantage of the low mortgage.

And when you sell down the road you'll be able to take advantage of the primary residence exemption on the portion you live in. 

I think the primary advantage is that they can go up a little faster but of course your customization options are also a bit limited as well.

It's my competitive advantage, and I love what I do with no intention of quitting any time soon.

I am curious because I have been running many scenarios in my head for the most advantageous outcome when it involves children. 

We bought our house in Central EP 2.5 years ago with a zero-down 4.25% 30 year loan and if we decide to rent, we definitely want to take advantage of the current lower rates by doing a rate and term refi. 

Hi Katrina, Another option (although less financially advantageous up front) is to make it a contingency that the property be delivered vacant.

As @James Hamling, you need to identify problem areas where you have a competitive advantage.

I see bad tenants taking advantage of friends, family and other big-hearted people. 

@Wayne Brooks Haha I'm poised to take advantage of that wave whether it's a tidal wave or ripple.
