The truth is, renters can't predict their futures and can bounce at any time for a variety of reasons.

For example, I think it would be nice to have a 20 year spreadsheet for LTR showing 2 roof purchases at the 10 and 20 year mark (assuming 10 year roof) and then each system listed with its expected respective replacement year to get a picture of potential capex spikes,This may lend to moving replacements expeditures around to balance the outlay of capex dollars over the life of the property.Thoughts?

Anybody had any luck with it and what is the rent expected and p&l, pros and cons?

You need to determine what rate of return you would like to make it worth it for you (while of course keeping in mind what the market rates are in your area for interest rate and points - in the Phila area you can generally expect private loans to be in the 11-14% range and 2-4 points - but there are a lot of factors that go into the rate such as LTV, strength and experience of the borrower, 1st position vs. 2nd position, and so on).

Evictions happen it’s normal and you should learn about them and expect one or two at some point.8.

My Strategy:- Buy with primary goal of renting in the future- Live-in flip for the first 1-2 years to build equity and increase potential rental price Exit Options:- Refinance and rent the property, using equity and savings to buy again, move in, and repeat- Pull equity that built due to small renovations done over 1-2 years and purchase another property w/ intent to rent, staying in this first one- Sell/1031 (thanks to forced appreciation from reno)Will this work regardless of the asset being a townhome or SFH, or am I missing something? 

Many properties have seen drop offs from their 2021-2022 peak, but that should be somewhat expected?

@Danny Van- thanks  1) if you have some equity in the property - you might consider getting a HELOC in place now  in case you  want to use any  equity in the future ...Its  easier to get a heloc in place on a primary home as compared to a rental  2) contact your insurance agent and  ask for an  estimate for how the insurance coverage and premium will  change  3) consider  a proeprty management firm if you dont want to  self  manage  4)  get any forms and  processes  in place  (  leases / credit checks / bank accounts/  etc ....)

But if the prices are what I expect, the only options are to buy a house and be a Live-In Landlord or buy a multifamily of 2-4 units using a primary home loan.

Discuss with the new agent if there will be any difficulties with a claim while there are two policies in place or if it is better to pick a future date for the start of the new coveage.
