I had it for 9 years and now I'm closing in on 200 rentals.  

I sent 92 letters to duplex owners in my specific are and had 5 legitimate leads come from it and closed on one that worked for me (these are not typical results).

and didn't you have closing costs on the purchase?

The options we're considering are either a multi-family unit in the city or a short term rental property in the city or up to 2 hours drive from Sewickley.However, we're in need of professional guidance to help us make the best choice for our family and investment goals.If you were in our shoes, what would you do next? 

=> Depends on whether you're in a double-close state or not.

My house is in a very desirable Philly suburb - great schools, close to I-95, lots of Wall Street/LawFirm/ professional types. 

The contract ratification took 4 months,  now it is clear to close. now, I have to purchase it in less than a month.

I live in a ski town and write off the 2% (less where I live but close to correct in the Villages) as the cost of living somewhere fun and beautiful. 

Do use a standard written application form with an ink signature that reads very closely like a job application. 3.
