Papas said the majority of active listings didn’t have strict cancellation policies.Hosts’ sense of control disappeared as the crisis took hold and the company stepped in to ameliorate travelers’ panicked cancellations.

I lived in the neighborhood so it was easy to control.

You should always keep control of the escrow you are using. 

As an owner-occupied property you'll qualify for low-down payment loans. 690 isn't great, but it's probably good enough to what you're looking for, if your DTI isn't out of control right now. 

We're currently coming down the home stretch on a total rehab of a SF in the Delaware Ave area in Albany. 

There are pros & cons: little to no effort on my part, little to no control on my part, the location is mostly irrelevant (I have investments in 9 states), you need to be sophisticated (knowledgeable), you have to get access to folks that are creating deal (folks that you develop a trust relationship with!).

You can raise rent once every 12 months, but there are limitations, especially if the building is rent controlled.

If you're self managing it'll make things easier to control.

@Napoleon De GuzmanHas a deposit been collected?

I am about to close on a property contingent upon inspection and according to the disclosures “NW corner of property was regraded to control water”.I have not seen property as I am out of state but will see through video this week during inspection.This term is new to me as I tend to buy newer properties.What would be your concerns about this property?
