I think most people never get started because they hop around strategy and markets but you should pick something, become a pro at it, and become one track focused on that.  

Option 1 - buy a house and pay ~3+k per month (including taxes, insurance, cap ex)Option 2 - rent in good downtown area for $1,300 per monthI'd pick option 2 and save $20k guaranteed per year (versus principal paydown, nonguaranteed appreciation, and negative cash flow).

I have a list of questions I ask the cleaners and once I find at 2-3 that I'm comfortable working with I add them to my team.

I'm not saying ADUs are the answer to these hard questions but picking up and leaving is not always so simple.

There is a 4 year waiting list in the county where the home is located.

Before I decide to STR a property, I first pick the city in which I want to STR the property.

Both options seemed to have listings in similar price ranges (250-400k range).Maybe there isn't a right or wrong here.

But if you are looking for an active foreclosure list.

There was a property listed that the ad was taken down in less than a week. 

The purpose of this post is to practice utilizing the formulas needed to analyze this particular deal and see if anyone has advice/suggestions.Located in suburban Phildadelphia in a lovely, walkable area to many shops and restaurants, this is a duplex property (2br/1b and 1br/1b) listed for $629,000.
