My family bought SFRs in early 80's w mortgage rates >18%, but high inflation drove rents higher than debt expenses so they all cash flowedalso look at USFR, paying 5.37%, holds 8 week Tbill floating rate notes only, not as good obviously as buying Tbill directly at the top of the curve (i bought a 26weeker in late Sept at 5.6%) but much easier to transact, i suspect 10yr will fall over next 2 yrs (FED cycle) then slowly rise over next 30-35yrs (long us debt-deleveraging cycle)

Get one of the units turned and rented out quickly as possible.9.

lots of folks have summer places there and also rent them out short term. 

Is it a “bad” decision to put 20% down on this multiplex, likely have most of the mortgage covered by the rental income while continuing to pay rent at my current apartment? 

Now, pair this strategy with the concept of house hacking, where you live in the property and rent out rooms to cover your mortgage expenses.

I live in one and rent the other for $400 cash flow.

It really depends what you want the units for (to live in, sell, rent out, etc. and what your timeframe is).

Our HOA by laws state that I cannot rent my primary residence, I must sell it in our community.

My property (currently I am  residing here in WI but also want to rent) is being possibly rezoned from residential to Commercial/Mixed Use and I just discovered this information.

The steady call for homes to rent comes mainly from college kids, school workers, and young workers.
