How is that handled mid rent legally? 

When the state was shutdown in mid March I had only about $800 in my saving which is now down to $25 so I’ve officially hit panic mode.

We are hoping to have those two units up and going by mid year next year at the latest.

There were plenty of showings, but no offers until mid-february which we accepted at 145k.

@Bryan Blankenship oh yes, mid demo on the basement and have already found a hidden walk way behind drywall that had junction box galore!

So for example, according to Google, a dishwasher has a lifespan of about 10 years, a garbage disposal is about 8 years, and an air conditioner is about 12 years.Sticking with the dishwasher example from above, at my local big box store, the mid range model of dishwasher is about $600 dollars.

As a fresh couple, we are planning on moving to the mid - northwest coast in the future which will be a huge challenge.  

However that being said ensure you set it up in the way that benefits you most and always if you have questions consult an attorney that specializes in such matters (another relationship you can start working now)As far as conventional mortgages go in general the number is 10, once you approach or hit 10 in many cases your DTI will not support additional conventional financing and most banks are not comfortable lending over 10.For low(er) cost of entry look to the Mid-West, although i have little experience out there many people here and on other forums relay that the cost of entry is much lower there (just about anywhere will be cheaper than NYC). 

I bought my properties at mid to end of 2018. 

I recently discovered new construction subdivision that was built in the middle of a neighborhood that averages comps of about mid 300s.
