The subject property is on Warwick Ave.

I know appreciation is higher but subject to so much of this.

Love to hear from anyone that has an opinion on this subject!

Real Estate ETFs and REITs trade like and are subject to the same market fluctuations and risks of normal stocks and act less like  RE.

Many of those improvements on the rental side, if below $2,500 per item, can be expensed rather than capitalized and not subject to depreciation recapture down the road.  

Hi @Tony Marcelle, The seller financing they are talking about would be a wrap around mortgage or taking the property subject to.  

I've been searching the internet for the method used to calculate a sensible rental price of a room for a 3 BDR Condo, but haven't found anything.I know if it has to do with the measurements of each room, the condo itself, and whether or not the subject room is the master bedroom or not. 

Always do the math analysis and try to look at your prospective properties before you make an offer on it or have a clause in the sales contract of the subject property some upfront time (about 10 to 15 days) to make a detailed inspection of the subject property without a penalty that will hurt you too much.You may or may not have noticed yet, but be aware that that there many crooks on the Internet that have been specialists at selling stuff you do not need.  

I know this has been the subject of much debate but I'm wondering if my numbers look about right on a mid term (30 to 90 day) furnished rental.
