.- Both boilers installed new 2017- Both electric panels upgraded 2015  - Shared Backyard access for bottom 2 units- No Parking, No Central Air- House built before 1900- Roof about 20Yrs old- Assume Fed cuts rate at least .25 point later this year Any thoughts would be appreciated.

If you are single or a couple agreeing to go on a house-hacking journey together, you probably want to maximize your mortgage paydown or make a small amount of cash flow.

I have a long-term rental in STN MTN (Stone Mountain) GA, and have a one year lease with a section 8 tenant and content with the cash flow, however, I can make more if the basement gets converted to a separate unit.

Hold time and cash flow expectations 5.

I am basically the traditional Asian family that spent my entire life saving money and purchasing a place in New York City, and after trying to survive for a while I find it too hard now that it’s 2 people and decided to move back to my hometown and do some investing looking for cash flow in particular.

Plus, I want to increase my portfolio as much as I can for the cash flow because I'm about 4 years away from retiring.   

Looking to utilize the BRRRR strategy for my upcoming properties to build that portfolio of cash flowing appreciating properties!

The less risky/more logical avenue seems to be to LTR one unit for more predictable cash flow and STR the other unit to create availability for my relatives when they come to visit.

I am guessing they do everything including cleaning themselves and must have paid all cash.  

It will also depend on the amount of capital you invest, if you buy in cash most properties will cash flow.
