Kind of running in circles on this dilemma and would love to get your opinion on this.When using @Michael Blank 's calculator (which is a state of the art weapon) i see the "deposit to replacement reserve" line item in the EXPENSES box, but there is no CAPEX line item.

Equity is always at risk.They are primarily an appreciation play best used by investors with considerable cash reserves.

I'm here to make sure you have an amazing experience, and if for any reason we don't live up to your expectations, I want to know about it.Cheers.Dan (from adwords nerds) Dan, I am absolutely disgusted with your companies services and customers service.Before I will make this horrible ordeal public I will give you a chance to call me in person and arrange for a refund.What one of your workers did was completely unacceptable!

We do not want to deal with coins and maintaining.Can anyone recommend a laundry service that they feel does are great job of maintaining their equipment and offer a fair split?

If not there are some services that can help, just be sure to do good diligence against them.Best of luck!

I do have some reserves but I’d like save for rainy day funding and to be able to show that I have some cash assets to lenders.

Run the numbers through the calculator and see where the break even points are and don't forget debt service.

I almost purchased a two family with 2700 square feet seven years back for ~$900k - now that same home is probably worth at least $2mm BEFORE the coming "Amazon effect"second choice would be a non-landmarked 2-3 family house not more than .5 mile away from the 7 train. third choice a smaller multi-family building. cap rates will be low in 4% range but if you can hold it for 5-10 years with adequate reserves and money to upgrade, you will do wellhttps://www.zillow.com/homes/for_sale/Queens-New-Y...https://www.zillow.com/homes/for_sale/Queens-New-Y...fourth choicepre-war landmarked coop apartments in Jackson Heights. not an investment per se because you usually can't rent these out but if are an owner-occupant, these will do great. fifth choicea condo in LIC - these are already expensive and you'll probably have negative yield but IRR will be fine over a 5-10 year holdAs happy as I am for the Queens news, I was even more thrilled to hear about Nashville because it is the one and only place I have been out of state investing for the past four years!

They'll have a lot more flexibility and provide better customer service.
