I am managing and maintaining 10 units currently and have been for a little over a year so I am starting to get a feel for things.

With an ARV of $400-425k and an LTV of ~62%, pulling out your initial investment while maintaining positive cash flow around $500 per month sounds like a good strategy.

Commit to spending less, paying off high interest credit cards, maintaining positive cash flow in your personal finances, and cleaning up your personal balance sheet.  

**Interest-Only Options**: Some DSCR loans offer interest-only payment options, which can maximize cash flow in the early years of ownership, making it a great choice for investors focused on maintaining liquidity.5.

is the 'gravel' on the shingles coming off (ie are there bare asphalt shingles)? 

Here in Texas, the ones I had experience with, did not do much to maintain my properties. 

Overall we have vastly more “good” tenants, and the law allows you to get rid of the bad tenants and maintain a desirable place to live for the good tenants who you want to keep.High-maintenance <=> High-Return: Those prior two points drive what I meant when I said the cash flows and NOI should be about double what they are on a “vanilla” MF (multi-family) purchase at the same price point, but it can be a high-maintenance proposition to manage the screening on the front end, the day-to-day management issues, the more frequent turnover and vacancies, and the frequency of needed court filings to get the keys back from a tenant when somebody is not being a good neighbor to your other tenants in the lodging house.Bottom line: We think we were right on point five years ago when we identified that SROs fill a critical niche that is in extremely high demand.

Helps maintain a steady flow of buyers and sellers in a competitive market.

To date, we've cleaned up the title issues, maintained the land/property, and worked with the City of Kansas City to determine a new highest and best use based on the revised Midtown Plaza Area Plan.

I assume your lease has something about maintaining curb appeal / cleanliness of the property.
