Hi @Pat Leri I think those do seem like your best possible options.

I have lender financing options: 75% LTV, 30yr fixedA common strategy is what you wrote.

You will then have a few options with that rent money....you can put it into principal or you can start saving it to purchase yet another property.

I have a few options:1) raise the rents without touching the property (cash flow could then be around 1,500$/month 2) update the units (estimated 50,000$) and then (cash flow around 3,000$/month)2) update the units and do medium term rentals (cash flow around 4,500-5,000$/month)I'm also having trouble kicking the current tenants out with how bad our housing situation is as well as homelessness.

You think they are going to create an option of "I'm stuck in my relationship and not filing for divorce cause financially we're screwed."

I read everyones comments in this thread and evaluated the various options on the table.

Secondly, take advantage of reputable sources that offer free, high-quality content.

This model would factor in dozens of variables from traditional and non traditional data sources. 

If you don't have access to the MLS, I've found that Prop Wire is very good for running comps since it has option filters that will make your search easier and faster.

I am just now beginning to look into financing options as well.
