Do you have a dishwasher or wash by hand?

This jives with my recent experience listing an upcoming vacancy (2/1 in a Wash Park West triplex). 

Totally fine if you can continue to fund for say 5-7 years, but as we saw in 08/09, lots of people expected endless price appreciation and when rents softened they were washed out (how I bought my MF).  

We plan on house hacking the bottom unit while we do the repairs and within the next year or so, purchasing another multi-family property to wash, rinse & repeat.Financing was done through Navy Federal Credit Union, where we were able to put down 15% on a 30yr conventional @ 4.5% interest rate - with closing costs, we're looking bringing ~15k cash to the table.   

Rinse/wash/repeat. 

For the loans I am taking it is sort of a wash but if you were talking out substantially larger loans I could see where the 1% difference may be worth chasing.

The other $100 was an expense year one and income year three, so the two just wash. 

But would that essentially be a wash, because I'm putting the money toward the purchase?

So even though the property taxes were a higher %, the value of property was less such that it was at worst a wash for them. 

I am a younger entrepreneur (32) I own a construction business, car wash and a mini storage facility.
