There are MANY ways to go about things in this life, and our choices come back on us, businesses included.

Note: I've installed several cameras on LA's skid row used by LAPD and several business owners in the area didn't want to invest the approx $10k to add a camera to their building and the network but a nice big sign saying they are being monitored was an easy choice for many....who's got 'em, who doesn't....I'm not sure.

, yet I have no choice but to do just that on my next purchase closing Jan 2nd.We let go of one, and keeping the one that was open to our inspection visit, had the unit looking like we just walked into a catalog and appeared to have no issues making rent payments.The one we are letting go, gave us such a tough time at unit inspection despite being notified of this multiple times by seller’s team.I literally had to request my buyers agent to call seller agent back and ask that something be done to facilitate a thorough inspection, that “I was paying for”.About 45 minutes later, said tenant let us in and tried to play nice.By then sadly the damage had already been done and I truly have no interest in inheriting such a tenant.Long story short, yes I hate the “we have always done this, or we did this…..”

When your relatives passes or permanently vacates the home, her heirs have two choices:  (1) buy the house for 95% of the then-current fair market value, or (2) sell the house. 

Obviously, some families and people on a fixed income have no choice, but for anyone who can make the sacrifices, it's important to do.Right now is a historically bad time for property purchases in NYC.

My question is, is it better off sacrificing early on and house hacking in a multi family in an area that isn't my first choice, or should I buy the single family home I love, and save up for a multi family as my next purchase.  

And one school of thought says pay off highest interest first.Other school of thought is to pay off lowest balance first, so you can apply the improved cashflow to paying off the 2nd largest balance, and so on.If both approaches point to the same mortgage, then your choice is done.

Florida Keys is not a bad choice, though the weather there is not always spoiled, but overall I liked it.

“People who were on month-to-month leases got a real rude awakening,” he says.American Homes, which owns more than 48,000 houses nationwide, controls nearly half of Spring Hill’s rental homes, leaving aggrieved renters limited choices.

With rent at $2500 the maximum you should be paying is 250K.The lowest one under 250K is the best choice.
